  • Quite often find that grown men wearing replica kits smell of BO

    How do you know what Obama smells like?
  • No man over 35 should wear trainers .

    My wife says i'm too old (42 but look a lot younger!) for white trainers , so you may have a point
    personally i think you're both wrong

    as for the shirt each to their own , i'll wear one in the garden when playing footy with the kids

    What I find intriguing about statements like this is that people usually throw them out there without offering an alternative. Maybe I sound immature or uncultured for not having very broad footwear horizons but what is a 35 year old supposed to wear then? I'm no where near that age but just so I know what I'm allowed to wear when I reach it. Am I allowed to wear trainers to the gym? What if I'm going to the pub? Do I have to wear my best black shoes and polish them beforehand? If I'm going to my mum's for lunch can I slip some trainers on for the car journey or is that a no? Do I have to wear army boots or slippers?
    Didn't someone also say on here once trainers should not be allowed at football matches? Should we all be going barefoot?
    To me, trainers and joggers are largely about comfort. Do I have to sacrifice comfort in the name of social norms when I reach 35?

    You do if you want to get into the Venue.

  • I always get the newest shirt for crimbo or a birthday. I only ever wear it when playing footy at training or in a five a side league. I dont wear them on matchdays and i dont really know the reasons why! Each to their own though and if people wear them it doesnt bother me. Unless, im abroad and see a bloke in a charlton shirt...Ill always acknowledge a fellow addick abroad.
  • Men ! Over 35 wear a nice comfortable new buck leather casual shoe ( rock port, timberland, etc or a deck shoe with no socks ) or a suede shoe or brouge. Other fashion advice is available. Repeat no man over 35 should wear trainers, unless engaged in a sporting activity !

    Agree although campers or DMs are OK as are desert boots
  • Personally, I wouldn't wear white trainers once I hit a certain age. Nothing wrong with a pair of suede Adidas though.

    Navey blue suede Puma's are OK, only wear white trainers when popping up the local shop, driving or washing the car......I guess I've hit that 'certain age'.
  • I only wear white trainers with my joggers and hoodie. But I only wear them when I appear on Jeremy Kyle.
  • Is it acceptable for adults to wear a retro England shirt? Really want to wear the 1990 England shirt I found in the loft, will i get sniggered at being 30 years old?

    Good shirt that one, from a great tournament. I think you're allowed to wear that one regardless of age.

    ...said a member on another thread. What do you think?

    Bollocks
  • Is there anything you could sow over the England badge?
  • I suppose you could sow some poppies or perhaps a rose. I doubt they would grow though.

    Depends how much weight you've put on in in 26 years.
    Considering he would have been 4 in 1990 I would imagine he's gained quite a bit of weight!
    It's gonna be a bit tight then. Unless he's anorexic

    I've fortunately put on weight since I was 4, it's my dad's so a good fit

    Not sure anything's gonna grow very well on a polyester shirt, be a real struggle even getting anything to germinate.

    Could sew or embroider a new design on a shirt tho, that could work nicely

    Retro shirts are fine, replica ones are not.

    I've got the 82 England top.

    I was well into my thirties by the time replica kits became popular for adults so never got into the habit though I remember wearing one on holiday in the Algarve and it was a dead giveaway to those bloody timeshare crooks that I was an Englishman abroad.

    Stumbling across some of these posts make my heart skip a beat. Damn these old threads!

    An EU badge would make a lot happy on here
    That's a great idea Len!

    When did it become acceptable on here to insult England and The English ? Did I miss the racist memo ?

    Is that the original one or the ones umbro were still reproducing when they had the England contract?
