Can you be too old to wear a football shirt?

[PunkScott]

A simple yes or no.

I realise it is different for me living in England that I can wear one in a pub no problem and live in an area where Newcastle shirts are like a second skin, but I say no.

It gets mentioned a lot in threads on here, so we can finally have a definitive poll.

 

[Portadown_Bear]

Yes and the age is 30.

 

[necorner]

I’m not too old to wear one, but I’m too fat!

 

[Ubik]

too old no, too fat yes

 

[Frank Burnside]

No from me. But obviously there is a time & place for it - playing fives, attending a match, relaxing at home, etc.

 

[Stanley Yelnats]

No what a daft question

 

[Brian Laudrup]

I wear the new top to Ibrox and around the house,anything wrong with that?? I’m 49 btw

 

[govwalker]

If it's for 5s etc that's fine but to the football or in general then yes.

 

[Wishbone]

I voted No but wouldn't wear one as casual clothing. I wear mine at Walking football.

 

[PunkScott]

No what a daft question

Are you new to the board? It's a running theme on any kit thread.

 

[First Touch In Europe]

I'm 35 and wouldn't dream of wearing a football top outside the house.

 

[Boyne69]

Am 56 and wear my top only to matches and I will wear it with pride till the day I die

 

[Keyser_Soze]

You can be too old, and too fat.

Im both.

 

[PrivateAye72]

Never too old to wear one to a game or to 5's.

As casual wear out with the house... I'd say it's about 14.

 

[govanrear1987]

For 5 a sides it’s acceptable.

Grown men in football shirts is just wrong IMHO, especially ones with a name on the back.

 

[millar2318]

Games, 5s fine

Socially over the age of 21, no.

You just get laughed at like the guy in the green and grey I saw go into nandos in the fort with his Mrs.

 

[kennylanglea]

If you are over 85 it generally looks silly.

 

[ChiefWahoo]

No.

Just another one of those things that only exists online.
Go to Ibrox on matchday and all ages are wearing their shirts.

 

[Haining84]

No.

 

[Sam English]

Apart from when on holiday, i rarely wear a Rangers top these days.

So, in answer to your question. No.

 

[Forza_Napoli]

In the house at 5s or at the game anywhere else no nothing worse than seeing grown men out shopping at the weekend with there strips or track jackets on to be fair it's usually the tramps to be fair wearing a top that's not been washed for months.

 

[GR_7_Bear]

Unless worn to play football, I'd say 16!

 

[douzpwa]

As long as a team exists absolutely no though there maybe times and places where discretion can be used if appropriate?

 

[ArfieldsSalute]

Football tops should only be worn goi g to games or when playing football, anything else is tim like

 

[standardbarger]

I wear the new top to Ibrox and around the house,anything wrong with that?? I’m 49 btw

Im 72 and I will wear a strip if I want to.

 

[standardbarger]

If you are over 85 it generally looks silly.

Well that's good it means I've got 13 years left of wearing mine except when I'm playing 5 a side.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Mooching about the house . No

Going to the football . Yes

 

[lordmountbatten]

Worn my linfield top to a sash bash or two.

 

[Arminius]

too old no, too fat yes

LOL

This is the right answer

 

[RutherglenGer72]

No.

It's not just an online thing mate. Folk I work with (non football fans) think it's a strange sight that anyone who is over school leaving age wears a football top. My view is that in the house or playing 5s is ok. Not a fan of them being worn as an everyday thing

 

[luckywhitefeather]

I’d say 30 at the most, with exemptions for those that actually play 5 / 7 a side continue on

Let’s be honest , they aren’t the most flattering of garment and when you start looking at them producing sizes over XL, fashion police should be getting notified (and a dietician

 

[Butterbean]

Mmmm.. I’m 56 and just bought a top for the Vienna trip. Not had a top since the 80s, mid life crises loyal.

 

[bellasboy]

Always wear a pair of rangers shorts the first day of the holiday lying at the pool, keeps they mancky bastards away from you.

 

[Arminius]

Me ^^^^^ spotting a tim out shopping in his mhanky green and grey

 

[possilbear2]

Old guy that sits next to me in the EE.Always wears his Rangers top he's in his 70's

 

[Wugs]

 

[jaws73]

You can be too old, and too fat

Dickie Borthwick doesn't think so

 

[Its-Sebo]

I wear the new top to Ibrox and around the house,anything wrong with that?? I’m 49 btw

This is the answer – at the game and in a house wear it with pride no matter what age you are.

 

[aghalee_hero]

32 and no. Don't get me wrong I wouldn't wear it out to the bar or a restaurant but it's definitely a bit weird spending £60 on something to only wear about the house like many do on here. Maybe my opinion will change as I get older.

 

[carlosapicella]

Yes and the age is 30.

I'm 66and still wear them ,I've been wearing rangers tops before somebody stole my ideas and I shall still keep wearing them ...you ageist b.......d xx

 

[The Railway Bear]

Age is just a number. Wearing it to the games and around the house, why not, who is it offending??

 

[carlosapicella]

32 and no. Don't get me wrong I wouldn't wear it out to the bar or a restaurant but it's definitely a bit weird spending £60 on something to only wear about the house like many do on here. Maybe my opinion will change as I get older.

Hey I'm 66 and still wear them I swim and do 30 minutes in gym 5 days a week,wouldn't dream of wearing them to go out for and evening tho!

 

[carlosapicella]

This is the answer – at the game and in a house wear it with pride no matter what age you are.

Cheers mate some young dudes on here think there so cool!ha

 

[ScotiaPapac]

Yes. I’m approaching 40 and unless I am playing fives (rare these days) then I’d never wear one.

 

[Rangersda]

Too old and too fat.

Get round it by wearing Rangers shorts on holiday.

 

[Giffnock bear]

I bought a top and I am 67 still in good shape. I wore my top on holiday in Tenerife at the Ibrox Bar. I wanted to buy a top to give our club money and support. I have been watching Rangers for over 60 years and I am one of the Barca Bears.

 

[Topps]

Previously I’d have said yes but now I’m in my 30s and still wear one then the answer is no.
Also after what we have all been through with Ashley and sports direct where our colours have hardly been on display over the past few years I’d encourage everyone who can to show the colours again.

 

[DevilsArcade]

Each to their own, I only ever wear football tops to play football or at a game.

 

[BlueHaze]

Depends on the time and place but more importantly the shape of the individual,I know some Bears in their 60s who can carry it off.

 

[Arminius]

Mmmm.. I’m 56 and just bought a top for the Vienna trip. Not had a top since the 80s, mid life crises loyal.

Similar. Just bought myself the new top a couple of weeks back.

The XL is still a bit too "clingy", if you ask me LOL
