Personally I think that Dibden Purlieu Saint, man-of-raisin, georgeweahscousin, Thedelldays, David in Sweden and View from the Top might be just a few of our members who think that this is a pretty bad idea Dune. Haven't spoken 'to any of them personally - it's just a hunch that I have. ;)

Rumour has it that Turkish may have done this ;)

 

It is not me. I know it's a huge conicidence but i dont wear replia shirts ever, the only Saints shirt i own is a retro 80's one which i wear at five a side. I dont know who the bloke it and have never seen him until a good friend of mine snapped him leaving SMS a few months back. Back in 2003 when the new super fans invaded S4E they did this, along with thier seating plans so they could all wave at each other during the game. F*cking sad.

What about post-it-notes attached with safety pins?

I have only once had anything on the back of a shirt, that was almost seven years ago when my daughter got me a yellow away shirt with Dad 50 on it, if she gets a shirt in the same vain in three years time she will be cut out of the will.

Now that is very cool. I know someone with Fat Man on their shirt which is also very cool.

Generally people look cool in football shirts though, especailly when they have a huge beer belly and wear them with 3/4 length tracksuit bottoms and Reebok classics. THe only thing cooler in that occasion is one of those £3.99 fake shirts you can buy from Sports Soccer with England written across it in red.

Who are you? (asked of St_Guido)

 

My bet is that he's either a radical catholic terrorist, a Tory party blogger or his real name is Guy.

 

I've got 6 replica shirts with the user names of different forum members on them.

 

I go to games and pretend to be a real **** to make the real forum posters look bad.

 

I'm also sponsored by two stay-away posters on here to wear replica shirts with their name on it to convince others that they do actually attend matches.

Still got mine from the forum match, not seen the light of day since though.

Anyone got "puncheon"?

 

Even mine from the Forum match had my actual surname on it. Pretty sure OohTerryHurlock's didn't though :)

After one single wash mrs h put mine in the tumble dryer on 'very ****ing hot'. It now resembles Arabic slightly.

 

Iirc oth did have the full forum name both times. Maybe that's why it's so expensive this year as they need to recoup what they lost.

Bugger! I am no longer cool! Having lost 5 stone I am only 2/3's cool now when it's warm enough for 3/4 lengths.

"saint no stopping us now" would cost me a fortune if I paid per letter, SNSUN would mean nothing to anyone. Now as for getting my avatar blown up and put on the back of my shirt...

Me too. Preferred not knowing tbh

 

What have you got against tbh? He's a really nice fella ;)

 

Back to the OP. This is daft idea Dune. Think how many users would get risk getting sacked once ther bosses realised they spent so much of their work time on here.

 

Of course in your case you'd presumably be wearing a veil. ;)

My mate "C¥nt Saint" tried this last year, he hasn't been let in the ground yet?

 

Surely more likely that he'd have got in and then been immediately thrown out when he got past the turnstile operator ?

SNSUN will do a lot of things for a free shirt but I'm not sure thats one of them. Fair play for being so forward though...

It would have been the name of a youth team player. So no.

 

I would have been arrested for perversion.

 

I know his Dad. Naff all to do with the topic but thought I would contribute. :D

I think we're all pretty much in agreement that the Forum name on shirt thing is pretty sad.

 

Setting aside all the "best clobber to the match" types who think all shirt wearing is sad, and those who think all names on shirts are sad, what exactly is it that makes the use of a forum name particularly, "crossing the line sad" ?

 

I think there's a hierarchy of match attending clothing wearing attitudes, and readily accept as a "shirter" that it's marginally less cool than wearing your own clothes, so :

 

No replica shirts to matches

Replica with no name/number

Replica with number only

Replica with some Liebherr related reference

Replica with name and number (I don't see any difference between lameness of having your "own name" or a "player name" but some may differ)

Replica with nickname and number

Replica with other slogans

Replica with slogan incorporating "8" and "Pompey" or similar

Replica with Forum User Name and number.

 

But WHY is the forum name bottom of this list ? Is it because the Forum isn't real life and going to a match is, and there's some implicit lameness in crossing over from one to the other ? Is it because online personae are generally a bit... weak ? What is it ?

Twas my username from years ago on 606 and S4E. The joke got old so I shortened it.

in your case, I'm thinking sod the shirt, life size inflatable doll.

Hth :)

I think people would pay me to keep my arse covered up, it's nothing like my avatar...

Because whilst anonymity is acceptable and possibly essential on line, in the flesh this would be like inventing your own nickname. As sad as Ince calling himself the guv'nor. (Who was it on here that was so keen for him to be our manager btw. Not done well lately has he?)

This is a fair point. How does putting your own nickname that others gave you fit into it ? There's still that element of giving it to yourself by putting it on the shirt...?
