I think it looks great on fighters like Bernard and the like, but if I was to walk around with this on I'd look like a right pillock.

I've been to a few UFC's and there are plenty of fans in some very bad T shirts

I'd be interested to hear if you agree or disagree with me

(I appreciate D Payne's T-shirts seem to have a few fans around here but they look much more tongue in cheek - which makes it more ok!)

I would wear one in black - but not at £50.00!

Me say......no no no!

A few years ago anyone wearing that, or like the models clobber I would have said GAY.
But, having visited a freind of mine in St Albans recently, they all wear something like that and are not gay, as they all seem to have very nice young fillies with them.

I, however, would be shot by my friends if I wore it with them.

Its like those guys that walk round in black puffa jackets with 'Born to Kill' on the back, usually with a picture of an eagle flying on it as well. Underneath is a fetching t-shirt with a wolf's head on it.

pure class

Depends in the build of the person wearing it i think.

Skinny and you look gay.

Train a bit and it looks cool.

Example

1) HitmanHatton1 DO NOT WEAR ONE!

2) DG - Can wear one!

I've always liked Affliction clothes, but they are too Ed Hardy looking for me to buy. The US has a much better selection and they're much cheaper (some as low as $40).

Margarito's is pretty cool. As was Hatton's for the Mayweather fight.

To be honest, I hate T shirts/shirts/jumpers with logo's on them. I got given a boxingranks t shirt for free which I think they were selling for £25. I was chuffed they gave one, simply cause the owner liked my contribution on the forum, but no disrespect its like an "every day" around the house thing.

My pet hate in my Uni days, was students buying sweaters with the Uni's logo on it. Just couldn't see the appeal. Of course, if I played for Wales in any sport - then I would be wearing my Welsh track suit everywhere... but then that is different, and I probably would still feel like a prat.

I concur. My girlfriend actually wants to have sex with me now that I have a boxingwriter.com hoody. Anything else is a false economy.

I used to wear Londsdale stuff to signify I was a fighter, but that was before they started selling them and bargain bucket prices and every scruff started wearing them

Old bones Ian · Post by **Old bones Ian** » 24 Oct 2008, 09:40

I remember when i was about 15 going up to London and one of the highlights was finding the small Lonsdale shop, and buying a grey lonsdale t shirt there.
Now you see every chav walking around wearing Lonsdale stuff. shame really.

They sold Lonsdale in the 30s?

It seems the "in style" these days is more and more homosexual looking(apparently the metrosexual look?), everytime I walk into a mens clothes shop I see nothing but pink and yellow skin tight-shirts - but the thing my little brother is always wearing stuff like that and he gets tons of fanny. But I can 'ave him anyday - thats what counts right?

Oh yes, i was the height of fashion, it was a great shopping trip for a 15year old, a Lonsdale t shirt, a boating jacket (don't ask), and a chinese flying star from a shop in Carnaby Street.
And a wander round Soho getting hassle from strange women, marvellous.

Ed Hardy T-Shirts are MUCH cooler.

I think the key point is whether there is a reason or link to you wearing something like this (as Coco alluded to)

For example my little bro used to be on Crewe Alex's books and I thought all the training stuff with his own number etc was pretty cool

Its Mike Ashley’s fault (along with everything else) that every Tom Dick and Harry is wearing Lonsdale and Everlast – he bought stakes in the companies then piled them high and sold them cheap in Sports World
