People who wear 'Great Britain' hoodies for fashion

conorh91

Today I saw something that made me stop and do a double-take.

A guy I know wearing a Jack Wills hoodie (fair enough) with GBR printed on the back in massive lettering.

Myself and a friend took the piss out of it, but he and his friend saw nothing wrong with it.

Never thought this as something that would cause me a second thought, but I can't imagine wanting to wear a Great Britain sweatshirt. Maybe it's an outdated view.

AH, what say ye?

No way! But yet I'd have absolutely no problem wearing a united States hoodie

I think AH has turned into a boring pile of steaming horse manure.

That sounds like a pretty pissy thing to do, being a dick to some guy you don't know over his hoodie?

Irish fashion faux pas. It happens. People don't think twice about sporting the Union Jack or GBR in this instance on their clothing. All we can do is be mortified for them or burn their clothes, then take nudey pics

I have a Liverpool football jersey and I'm not from Liverpool. What's the difference between that and a GBR hoodie? Wouldn't get even a second thought for wearing an EPL jersey.

I misread that.

Still kinda pissy though

I suppose the Northern Ireland element comes into it. GBR encapsulates much more than just a sporting club, it's the embodiment of a whole nation.

It's not a problem in itself, personally i'd just be wary of the fact that it's politically sensitive.

I'm fully openminded about the fact that I am probably wrong. My own excuses don't satisfy myself tbh. The whole thing just seemed a bit out of place

I have seen that numerous times, Be it the Union jack,US, Japanese, Canadian flag or emblems, think it's just a fashion fad ?

Personally I Wouldent be wearing any others countries flag or emblems,we have enough of our own to share...if that way inclined.

:-) yep that's right, Anything with the union jack on it was either tore of or marked out, And as for women or some men having a Union Jack handbag, well you probaly be arrested for your own safety, reeling in the years is right...

Anyone who gets upset about what someone else is wearing be it another countries flag on a piece of clothing or a hat, clearly has very little else to be worrying about. I've never been able to wrap my head around the whole patriotism thing anyway, flags are flags, places are places, it's all the same thing at the end of the day.

I am not sure what analogy you are making!

Good grief, it's a piece of coloured fabric arranged in a specific way, hardly the end of the world is it.

Nationalism is so 19th century

I used to have a great pair of Reeboks that had a tiny Union Jack beside the logo. Fairly sure I squiggled over it with permanent marker but have no trouble wearing clothes that have flags of any other country.

It's the way we're raised, unfortunately.
