Why do scrotes wear tracksuits?

Kermit.de.frog

A couple of things here:


1. Your typical soon to be scumbag is in most cases presumably reliant on welfare dependent parents in some shape or form. Yet tracksuits can be far more expensive then a simple pair of jeans and shirt. It does not seem very economical.


2. In the animal world all animals adapt to their surroundings making the best of various tools nature has provided.

This leads me to believe the tracksuit also serves a practical purpose. I don't know what that is.

Is it a uniform? A feral identifier?

Is it an item of clothing you can put on with least effort? Laziness? This would also explain the female pyjama loving member of the class - the weaker sex so to speak surely shouldn't have to go through the rigmarole of putting on a tracksuit in the morning?

Is it a practical choice of clothing or am I giving too much credit? There is something behind it I just don't know what it is.

Tracksuits are comfy

Somebody has to wear them. Scrotes got unlucky. The rest of us get to wear grown up clothes.

My wan is not wearing PJ's to the local Spar.

Gotham do you think your average Anto or Jacinta are thinking that when purchasing? Could be true. Not saying it's not.

It allows them the freedom of movement necessary when running away from Gardaí whilst yelling "scatter!".

In the decent days scrotes dressed well, even though their views were misguided they knew the importance of turning out well. They aspired to be the silk suited gangster driving a big car.

These days these kids live in trackies and hoodies, very sad to see. They only thing thing they aspire to now is to be some badly dressed loser selling drugs on the street corner, no ambition anymore, no dreaming big like kids such as Sal Luciano, Vito Genovese and Frank Costello did in the 1910s.

Only a scrote would know so much about being a scrote. Got ya now, ya little bastard!

I always assumed it was because they're baggy and easier to hide things down your jocks, as opposed to jeans, which may draw suspicion to your lumpy arsè

That could be it but the pj wearing ladies don't fit that narrative. So i'm not sure. I assume they think alike - which is not much at all.

The scrotes who do real damage to this country tend to wear suits.

Ah yes, the Pj wearing ladies...I put them in the category of just plain ole attention seekers! I can't see any other logic behind it. But that's probably because I'm not one of them!

Incompetent and corrupt politicians/bankers wearing Louis Copeland's finest who have sold future generations down the river, or a few gougers from Sean McDermott Street wearing Nike's latest shiny offering.Know who I'm more angry at and ashamed of.

I'm more ashamed of the numerous tracksuit wearing thugs and junkies that have murdered Irish and tourists and roam the streets to be perfectly honest far more than any politicians.

Flippyfloppy

Um because their idols wear them, local and famous. Top local hard man, daddies, 50 cent. Isn't that where all fashions come from, idols?

Plus if ur gonna be hanging round all day no better outfit to wear than a trackie.

Pj thing, that's a bit of a fad, which I suspect has something to do with both ugh boots and being a lazy sh!t.

What do you call a scrote in a suit?

The female ones usually have a pram to hide stuff they lift in (with a scabby looking malnourished child in it)

The track suits are fake market stall knocks offs. There is one by the Ilac centre in Dublin selling Fred Perrys & Lacoste finest fake polo shirts. They're not spending big money here.

Their runners are never ever fake. Only the best will do. They have better runners then you or I do

Those are the city centre lads ^^^^

In Ballyfermot the local scrotes all wear the exact same grey track suit bottoms. Like a military uniform to them

So they can recognise each other.

pow wow

Planning prosperous careers in athletics, obv.

Scrotes have some sort of weird homing ability as far as I can tell.

There could be a crowd of a couple of hundred people in the place I work at any given time yet two scobes who don't even know each other will unerringly pick each other out from the crowd and will be getting on like they have been life long friends in the space of ten minutes.

Potential-Monke

They've upgraded recently. Don't they all wear those cargo type jeans with the elastic at the bottom now? You know, the jeans any self respecting person wouldn't be caught dead in!

Not like you to make a massive general assumption based on scaremongering and tabloid leavings, what's up?

whomitconcerns

was in town yesterday on henry street...as usual the shouty "only buzzin off yeh" types were all wearing tracksuits and wandering around. The zombies are probably 50/50 in tracksuits. From 10 years old to probably 30 something...vacant expression except for a "f you" if you happen to walk or glance towards them...the younger ones walking into shops "pretending to rob stuff" to annoy the foreign staff...again "only buzzin off yeh"

Send them all away to army school maybe?

They usually stop bothering to go to school around that age anyway.

ToddyDoody

I wouldn't know why... but there's a sense of freedom with loose elastic tracksuits that say "I'm a (sporting) legend"

Always thought it was because they were robbed from the big scrotes at lorry level and passed down to the scrotes on the street along with Air Max

'most' of the people wearing a tracksuit.

Because they usually like playing sports..?

Professional athletes are a success story that they aspire to emulate. So aa bunch of them wear tracksuits.

Because a bunch of them do, more do; pack mentality. Anything different will be torn down as that inherently implies that the groups choice is wrong.

average hero

I'd imagine that most of them wear them because they are comfortable, relatively easy to keep, somewhat durable and they facilitate running or other athletic movement.

Gran Hermano

Not having to worry about dry cleaning and ironing grants the tracksuit attired more time to contribute to society.

I'm guessing it's purely a comfort thing. Like runners - most people won't deny that runners are generally more comfortable than shoes since they breathe more, especially on hot days. Your average person stops wearing them because it becomes societally unacceptable at a certain star, scrotes cgaf about societal expectations so they wear what's comfortable, end of.

Personally I feel this is one thing they've got right. I don't find tracksuits particularly comfortable, but fair play to anyone who tells society to go f*ck itself and wears what they want regardless.

The world would be a better place if people stopped conforming to societal norms just "because".

I think your narrative is extremely distorted, I'd imagine your world view is also that way inclined.

What ever happened to wearing something for comford??

I often see the Dublin 4 and 6 lads, wearing hoodies etc, yet I don't see you bringing them into your little rant.

Although what more would one expect from an individual with that user name, slimey and green, says it all , really.

yes..most of the young ladies and gents I saw yesterday wearing the tracksuits looked like they were making a societal non conformation stance by wearing tracksuits...or maybe not? Wearing them for comfort...yeh...I would say 9/10 scrotes would say that. (lots of sarcasm there TBC)

In saying that I agree with you in principle that yes you should be wearing what you want. BUT there is no denying the majority of "buzzin off yeh" types wear tracksuits as their uniform. And indeed as I said about half the cities Zombies also....

Neither do people who make these type of statements, it takes a certain type of intellectual disability to think this way
