South Coast Royal I get why people might wear them for doing some sport or around the house/gardening as they are comfortable and very washable.

What I don't get is adults over about 20 or so wearing them, especially fat blokes and it seems like most shirt-wearing fans are fat.
They definitely look better on women.

Probably should have put this in the getting older thread.

Presumably for the same reason. Must be quite difficult for fat people to find something comfortable to wear.


Don't you live in the country of the fat?

I do and they all wear giant American Football shirts.

Franchise FC I gave all mine away when we moved … primarily because I never wore them and they needed a good home


Don't remind me Franchise as it was a real disappointment for me that I was a day late in trying to get a Simod Final shirt for my son who is a prolific wearer and collector of Reading FC (and Chelsea :( ) shirts.

I hope you are enjoying the Spanish lifestyle.

I like wearing some of the classic shirts of England and random international sides I can find cheap on ebay. Got a few classic Reading shirts (my favourites are the all black away shirt, from around 2004/5, and the all white away shirt that we were promoted in, in 2006). Really not actually keen on hooped shirts as they're a reminder of ghastly school days and having to play rugby instead of proper ball games.

Don't really like modern football shirts all that much, seem more "nylon-y" these days and all designed by graphic artists who have been mentored by Jackson Pollock.

Loafer All the time

I wear a different one everyday to the gym until I've finished

I have quite a lot of different shirts but need to get more Japanese and Korean ones

They're just so oxf*rd expensive and hard to get

I bought one in Kyoto a few years back when I had a bit of a brain fart on the exchange rate. I was paying about twice what I thought I was. I think I've only worn it two times.


I have several Reading shirts that I've worn to games, but I'm not a committed shirt-buyer. If I like it, I'll buy it, but otherwise I don't bother.

I don't ever wear football shirts other than when going to games.

Would you be willing to sell the kyoto sanga one?

I bought it slightly slimmer days, so it's only an M size. It looks like this one.



It's a nice souvenir, but I wouldn't be against selling it, but I guess it depends if it would fit or not.

They were known as Kyoto Purple Sanga back then. It's the away shirt, with Kyocera as the sponsors.
