MMA Fashion Apparel Poll

The only MMA shirt I’ll wear is the eventual MMA4Real T-Shirt for obvious reasons…and the Cageside MMA t-shirt that I have…because it’s dope.

whats the diff if you wear a mma shirt of a fav fighter(yes thats how i voted) or if u wear a football,hockey or baseball jersey of fav team. Without dorks like me buying mma shirts then they wont be in businees long.

I bought a few Tapout shirts a little while ago and one day I wore one. I noticed people would look at the shirt and get tense and shifty-eyed. It made me feel like I was telling the world that I can beat the s**t out of you. The young guy at the deli I went to saw the shirt and started jumping around cranking his neck and shaking his hands out like fighters do before a fight. I wore the shirt to the gym one time and instantly a guy noticed me and started shadow boxing toward me as I was on one of the machines. I don’t know if it’s the stigma around the sport or if fight fans are inherently hostile but for these reasons, I won’t wear the shirts anymore.

To express fandom: Sure, why not – I wouldn’t, but if you rock a shirt obviously tied to a specific fighter I would see it as sporting a jersey.

To try to come off as a fighter in any light when you’re not: lameduckfuck.

As I box I have a couple of Everlast-shirts and whatnot, but the stigma isn’t the same and I’d never buy shit because of a brand… most of that came in package deals, “buy shoes get a t-shirt for free” etc.

The “Nobody Beats Me” Fedor and the Kawajiri shirt Sherdog has in their store are the only shirts I’ve ever really liked.

But I’ve got a Cage Fighter hoodie that is SO freakishly comfortable that it’s an exception. The GF absolutely hates it when we go out and I wear it, but she’s admitted on a number of occaisions that she’d kill for one of such comfort, if it didn’t have the crazy logos.

I think it mostly depends on how you carry yourself. If you walk around with a douche-tastic attitude, or you’re wearing one that’s two sizes too small, then yeah you probably deserve to be treated as such. If some chump like me is wearing one though, I don’t see any reason why they should be picked on anymore than anyone with an Old-Navy logo or popped collar.

Just because you wear a Tapout shirt or an Affliction shirt doesn’t make you a douchebag. Acting like a douchebag makes you a douchebag. I own 1 Tapout shirt and a Krazy Bee hat. If you are thinking about wearing a Tapout shirt but are afriad of being judged or labeled as a douche, just remeber the shirt does not make the man. Unless you are this guy….

If they make apparel it is for the fans, right? But, I do think there is a stigma when it comes to the sport and the apparel.

Just because I wear a Dallas Cowboy jersey doesn’t mean I play for the Cowboys. It just means I support the team and the sport.

Personally, I don’t like the clothes, but I love the sport, and would love to show support without people assuming I am fighter.

it’s more the fake tan, gelled hair, gauche jewelry accessories combined with said tool shirt that make the overall look so lame.
