I am Jon Posted June 13, 2023 Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 (edited) I find football shirts at Glastonbury almost as irritating as oversized country flags in front of stages. Just feels out of place to me. Got some leggings and few fancy things I was planning to wear at boomtown last year. Bailed in the end as heat was so extreme (30C +). Ended up just wearing the same thing all weekend; a flowery short sleeved shirt and some shorts I originally I took for sleeping in. Found that one shirt kept its shape and colour when soaking wet (from taps) was like wearing a magic heat shield.

balti-pie Posted June 13, 2023 Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 Football shirts are out for me, unless it’s a thoroughly leftfield team like Union Dt Gilloise, or Flamengo, or Inverurie Locos. Pick something interesting! Standard southern blokes wearing Liverpool or Man United shirts (and calling other southern blokes ‘scousers’ or ‘mancs’ accordingly based on their glory hunting choice when a ten yr old kid) is a ridiculous sight, and tends to degenerate conversations accordingly. There’s no need for division, parochial arguments and all that, park it at the gates and get back to it in august. It’s summer! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 I'll be wearing shorts long enough to cover my knees so my knees don't get sunburnt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEGATRONICMEATWAGON Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 (edited) In general, I don't like mixing sports and music festivals either with the whole rivalry possibility stuff etc, although I have noticed a few performers (esp DJs for some reason?) wearing them. Never heard of Football Fri or Sat, or whatever it is. Having said that, I love a retro shirt. Don't think my Mid-New Jersey shirt will give anyone in the bogs the heebie-jeebies. Got it when I was 14 doing a football exchange with their state under-16s. Love it to bits. Prob doesn't fit me now the middle-aged spread has arrived 😅 Edited June 14, 2023 by MEGATRONICMEATWAGON 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2019 Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 A hat made from tree bark that a friend gave me, it has a colourful band around it from a hat that my late father gave me. Another up vote for Pretty Green, I'll take my PG fish print shirt. Pair of old sketchers with memory foam sole, super comfortable for standing a long time in. It's not going to rain. Spare pair of pants. As everyone knows, changing your pants is as good as having a shower. Stay fresh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padgey Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 Think I might have to bring out the Cameroon 2002 shirt this year if football shirts irritate people. Usually see a few Boro shirts at the festival, 5 of us from the area although I'm located down south now, the other 4 are travelling down Wednesday morning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nduja Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 All for footy shirts at festivals with a few caveats: - Not your own team's current kit, esp if you support a big club, something retro fine. - Absolutely no banter names or own names on the back - A co-ordinated day for anything is bad craic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
