Also, you can make fairly accurate judgements about any person based on what they wear. For example, someone wearing oversized, dirty, black clothes, with purple hair dye is without doubt a grunger/self abuser. Someone wearing a low cut top and skirt up her arse is in the majority of cases a hooker. Etc, etc, etc

I live in Belfast and the GAA jersey brigade is always out in full swing, you're nothing unless you have a number on the back as well, guaranteed to get your hole then in the Hatfield.

stovelid wrote: » GAA jerseys tend to be more vile than other sports jerseys: just the design or something. Almost psychedelic. It's almost like an self-consciously down-home design approach, to wit: the more minimal and relatively tasteful that foreign (read: Brit) sports jerseys get, we self-consciously keep ours manky. Kinda like a Calvita/Red Lemonade/Erin soup thing where the inherent crapness of the product is not hidden but actually foregrounded in the advertising as a subcultural nod to the retro tastes of nostalgic culchies living under duress in The Smoke. Like an arch, knowing protest against taste, if you will.

You can lift the collar D4 Rugby jersey style and on the collar is says, "The Dubs". :cool: I love it. I feel as cool as The Fonz wearing it (when I go to see them play).
