Are they accepted as a standard top? For example, when getting dressed on a morning, is it ok to wear a football shirt to go out and do the shopping, a walk round the town, go to the kids school sports day, family day out or whatever. I live near Durham and am beyond sick and tired of seeing those ridiculous black and white tops. Do they not own anything else? It’s just a massive sign to say how much of a bill end someone is for me.

There was an article in the Gazette the other day that had me spitting feathers. A guy in a Newcastle top proposing to a girl in a Newcastle top at a SamFender gig - both from Blackhall.
What's that got to do with Teesside?????
Bell end because you wear a football shirt?
I've got several and wear one quite often when out and about. If it makes me a bell end I apologise and am guilty as charged.
You can't make this stuff up.

I always cringe when I see them in airports, a few Newcastle shirts at Manchester earlier this week, couple of Utd & City, but not many.

Each to their own, but a footy shirt for me now as an adult is restricted to 5 aside or running.

People can do what they want of course but I'm probably in the camp of it's a sports top therefore it's for playing sports, watching footy, sleeping in or dossing around at home.
Not for going to the pub in etc. (unless watching a game).
Think they're probably ok on holiday if you're relaxing by the hotel pool. You look like a massive tourist if you wear one while out and about though.
Just come back from holiday and my brother in law wore a different Leeds shirt every day
. Have to admit it did make me wish I'd packed a boro shirt just so to make it clear to casual observers I wasn't also a Leeds fan.

dossing around at home

Exactly! Why does it matter? If people want to wear their team's shirt with pride then good on them. Definitely not something to be embarrassed about. I wear Boro training gear quite often. Wonder if that makes me a bell end too or is training wear deemed acceptable?

You are only a tosser if you wear training gear dont worry.

Topless, wearing fake ray bans, with your 'Boro shirt thrown over your right hand shoulder, walking on the sea front in Benidorm.
Now that's how you 'wear' a football top.

As long as if you are going to a funeral you wear your best set then I think it's alright.
I’ve got a casual polo shirt and jacket from the club shop which I wear as normal attire. Wearing a Boro top is fine but that lot up the road take it to extremes. They’re just embarrassing. Same with Leeds and Sunderland aren’t too far behind. Can’t stand all three of them.
