I am surprised at the numbers in support of wearing a jersey after the age of 14 - and yes - even on gameday (unless you don't leave your house). I figured it was about 90% to not wear a jersey on gameday after a certain age.
Off-topic - but - it seemed like a ton of UCLA fans were rocking a jersey when they visited.. way higher ratio than UT fans.
It's fairly common everywhere else to wear a jersey on gameday. I'm surprised that so many people are prudes about this.
I don't see any problem with wearing a jersey during the game. I throw on a Titans or Vols jersey on gameday fairly often, even down here in Florida - I imagine I get more dirty looks from the Florida and FSU fans than those back home in TN get from the polo-and-khakis clad gentlemen. I personally wouldn't wear one on a non-game day, but who gives a damn. Wear what you like. As long as you're in white and orange for the game, it doesn't matter.
Maybe you gents need to stop watching What Not to Wear and worry about something more important than what another man is wearing to the game.
And to the OP: respect your wife's opinion, but offer a compromise, like you'll only wear it on gameday, or only for home games, etc.
do you laugh at players wearing them if they are injured? i see that often in college and NFL.That's perfectly fine. But I'll continue to chuckle to myself at 30 and 40 year-olds walking around Neyland wearing a jersey (I just think it looks hilarious - that's jmo) - and if they wear on during the week outside of sporting stuff - then I'll be extremely tempted to point and then laugh.
Well you'll have to point and laugh at me all you want, I plan on being buried in my #16 Jersey, how old I'll be by then I guess will depend on how good my cholesterol medicine works.
I'm 32 years old and my wife says I'm too old to rock my jersey.......................opinions please?
