Canterbury (CCC) tracksuit bottoms. Wtf?

    I live in South Belfast and it seems that in the past few months virtually every male aged 18-30 owns and often wears a pair of Canterbury tracksuit bottoms. Here are the bottoms I'm on about,

    I was going to get a pair of these because I like them and plan to be taking up rugby again some time quite soon so they would be useful during winter training, and also I just quite liked the Canterbury range of clothing in general, but round where I live it is getting to be beyond a joke. I don't want to be thought of as a brainless trend follower, which I am not.

    Like I was in the chipper the other night and there 4 people wearing them with seven people in the place. It's like they were given out free at Freshers' Week or something but that could hardly be it.

    Does this go on anywhere else or is it a purely South Belfast phenomenon?

    It's just really strange. In the past, my thinking was that if you saw someone wearing Canterbury gear they almost certainly played rugby or at the very least had a very keen interest in the game. It is just how quickly it has all happened. I don't know whether to get a pair of them now or not because people would throw around accusations of being a trend boy.

    I like those bottoms... but I'm afraid to buy them in case people think I know about rugby :(

    Not everyone who wears sports gear is involved in that sport. Shocking I know.

    Yeah I take your point but CCC is a bit different from Nike or Adidas or Reebok I would have thought. I just always considered it less mainstream and more for people who were into their chosen sport.

    I guess it was for a while but I've definitely noticed it a lot more, both in shops and on people, its definitely become established as another clothing brand tbh.

    It's those ones that are like fat-pants, my brother has a pair and says they are the most comfortable things in the world... Having not owned a tracksuit pants in about 5 years, i can't comment...

    They're dead handy for training and for before matches because the zip goes right up. I love my 2 pairs, I wouldn't leave the house in 'em (because they're not exactly built for ladies) but they're dead comfy.

    To the OP. If you want them for training in, what's the problem? You're hardly going to be wearing the around street too.
