Paintball players with paintball jerseys look like an ad with legs.

And what is THAT supposed to mean?

If you're a tournament player and you wear the logos of companies that in no way support your team, you're just plain stupid.

In rec or tourny pimp, flash, or gaudy are all fashion statements and nothing more. You want to spend 100$ more for your clothes with logos and hundreds more on flash that does nothing to help your game, that's your choice. Many would rather spend the money on quality functional clothing and gear, and paint to hone their skill.

Yeah, look at his sig, "accuracy by aiming", yeah he only plays rec

Well there is a reason you wear paintball pants too. Then you can be all ad.





I can see another squid flame fest coming on.

Good lord! I would kill to not be the starter of another "flame fest," but jeez, this thread is ghey. NOTHING is wrong with rec, so dont take that the wrong way...just reread that one fools post. Although all of our uniform is free, its looks...you buy a nice looking jersey, and all dye jerseys for that matter, your team looks good. Sigh...Playing pants are a completely different matter however...

I wear my redz pants, because they were realitivly cheap(40 bucks), and they are super durable. They are also extremely comfortable. And why can't I spend 100+ bucks on my gear? If I can, why not?

And whats the percentage of the entire PB population that only plays rec? Oh thats right we are the majority.

Since when did wearing a jersey from a company you're not sponsored by become "stupid"? Maybe you like the way it looks, maybe you'd like your team to have matching jerseys, maybe you like the company, or maybe you find that jersey comfortable to play in. Just MAYBE it doesn't bother people that logos are all over it (it doesn't bother me).

Army said it best, companies want to advertise. What else do you want them to put on THEIR jerseys besides their logos? If you don't like jerseys, then don't wear them (and stop getting so anal about them). If you do like them (or are sponsored by a company that makes them), go ahead and wear them.

see, the biggest thing that youre all missing is that: It doesnt matter, and no one should care anyway. Whoopdie do, you dont like jerseys. Good for you. so wear a tee shirt and be happy. When you get asked why youre wearing a T shirt then tell people why. Otherwise, just leave it alone. I will continue to wear my dye pants and JT jersey regardless of your opinon. Why? Because i like the way they look and feel, and because i can.

Then pay 65 bucks to get a Custom Sports Gear jersey with ANYTHING YOU WANT on it. You design it, they make it!

Otherwise if you don't like promoting a company that's sponsoring you..... be my guest.

Sounds good to me. No one suggested you stop wearing them if YOU like them. No one suggested that sponsored teams not show off their sponsors.

Squid seems to take it a little more personally though.

If you like consumerism and giving corporations free advertising, that's your right. It's also other people's right to think its "ghey".

Personally, I think the jerseys, amongst numerous other "sexy" and "pimp" fads pursued by pasty 12-year old computer nerd virgins, are simply gaudy.

And what's wrong with a 12 year old being a virgin?

[tony3]

haha, just thought about that

[LeatherPants]

Guess you don't wear tennis or jogging shoes. I mean there's just a big NIKE swoosh or Adidas tri stripe on them. Wow yea I hate how people buy shoes with logos on them.

Hell if I made my own gear you bet there'd be a big logo to let people know that some kid is wearing my brand stuff.

Uh oh, I guess I should throw out all my jersies since I only play recball now... I've got two from CSG a few others floating around.

Get off the recball bashing bandwagon already, its a dead horse that's been splattered around so much you can't tell that it was a horse.

Oh, and yes, I do subscribe to Accuracy by Aim... its a much cheaper way to play, and its oh so fun to take out the "ABV" players on the speedball fields that way...

I think this thread has seriously sidesteped into "everyone is offended and angry" territory.
