Paintball turning mainstream

[NewMagMan21]

Last night I went to Fred Meyers and I saw a guy wearing a DYE shirt and a couple people aking bout it...
Brought a tear to my eye ;)
It might be a big deal but I thought it was cool
And I think it is mainstream becuase you see a ton of people wearing basketball, football etc jerseys...just a step foreward

yea, i saw a few people with evil jerseys, i asked if they played and they are like "wtf is paintball?" yea.. posers.. already lol. but then i have found a few people play and i didnt know it because they wear apparel by a paint manufacturer.

Hopefully it doesn't turn into the skateboarding fad, where every kid has the shirts, but hasn't even learned how to skateboard...

ive ran into a coupla guys with dye shirts and we had a long convo that usually picked attn of other paople nearby, its like every 1 knows some 1 whos played paintball and its on the verge of becoming mainstream, its not the backwoods sport anymore guys, if anything i say we wear more pb culture casual gear, it gets attn

I was wearing a paint covered sweatshirt in my parents buisness and it has started up many conversations about paintballing. If you wear the clothes people want to talk to you. I find that kinda cool that I can usse a sweatshirt as a means to start a conversation.

SHOOT 'EM LIKE A PORN STAR!!

Today was the first day I've worn that shirt at school... I got some strange looks. *shrugs*

[LONEWOLFOO1]

to tell you the truth i feel some of the paintball clothes are very comfortable. don't worry once you see a rapper wear them then its mainstream.

Heh, I make an effort to wear my UMass Paintball Club t shirt where I think it'll start some conversations. Sometimes I get someone to join the club, other times I just have a good conversation with another player.

[master_alexander]

then problem will arise that when this comes mainstream and there is more posers then there will be a big argument between posers and real players..

Well, that will make Cypress Hill and the Sugarhill Gang happy....

I wear alot of paintball tee-shirts. I've had one or two kids come up to me in school and ask me how much I play, my gun, etc. I've never been approached by a random person on the street though or seen anyone else wearing paintball clothing.

When I see paintball clothing in PacSun or what ever the cool store is now, then it has gone mainstream.

Kids ask me what i shoot, i respond with freestyle, they are either "Whats that" or "My tippmanns better" then they walk off like pshh.

I dont have ANY paintball aparel what so ever. I need to buy a jersey sometime, but ive never had the cash.

I think all my buds and thier sisters know i paintball. Only a few know how i paintball too. Throughout my school, im about the only serios baller there... its sad.

WARNING!!! / story


So last year for some stupid and unconcious thought, I wore my Evil "cheaters live longer" shirt on the day of my mid-term....lets just say teachers gave me some dirty looks! :cuss:

[buzzboy]

My schools got between 20 and 30 people who play. Not so bad them being the only people I even know that paintballl.

2 of my friends and I started (or so we think) the paintball folowing in my school/ towm (very small town)...But I think we've recruited about 100 people into at least playing once...about 5 girls too
