The jersey story

[Eatem Alive]

od rip stop bdu pants. alot cheaper than "paintball" paints. and they will outlast anything dye makes. and you can take that to the bank.

negative...one slide on fairly hard ground and they are done....speaking from experience

i used to wear my old cargo pants while playing, buy once i slide into the snake and they ripped, i finnally bought Hybrids. I couldn't be happier, they breath, have padding in all the right places.
I never owned a jersey. I dont think that its nessicasy(sp). I could use the money that i would spend on the jersey, to buy more paint.

Black Cargo pants w/ kneepads underneath and an old old old Blue JT Jersey

i always wear paintball pants (protos to be specific) becuase prior to getting paintball specific pants, i ripped countless pairs of regular pants, as far as jersey, i have a c4 jersey that i wear sometimes (normally rec play) but, mostly my team "jersey" (a long sleved black shirt that i screenprinted our stuff on), other times, just random shirts

I love pb pants. I just think the are more comfortable to play in. If it's hot them I play in a t-shirt. If it is cold, then I play in my old dye jersey.

Wow, this thread made me think of selling my jersey and just going to a sweatshirt again....

ive got a pair of 05 jt pants, theyre sick, well worth the money for the padding and comfort. Ive got an old pair of dye pants that have been great too, theyve lasted a year and a half of playing every week.
As far as jerseys, we practice in busted up smart parts jerseys, ive got a really old jt jersey that i wear sometimes, and we have empires for toruneys. During the summer i usually just wear a t shirt

[mandatory]

yeah!!! sell that jersey. just another way the manufactureres are trying to get your money.

I just wear camo shorts and a t-shirt with Fox shin/knee pads. If it's cold then I wear camo pants. I have better things to spend my money on.

I think the full getup of pants, jersey, gloves, mask, etc. all from one company makes you look a bit like a tool. I used to wear dye pants, dye jersey, dye mask all together and now that i look back on it, i looked like an idiot. You see these kids with the full dye, proto, or empire wardrobe and, unless they are coated with sponsors, they actually look a little "noobish." I used to wear the full ensemble because i was new to the sport and i thought wearing all dye made you more intimidating.

Times have changed though. Now I wear just dye pants and gloves for the protection they offer. As for a jersey, I wear a black long sleeve shirt my team had lettered with a grey shirt over it. Offers plenty of protection and its more breathable than my old dye jersey.

I agree with most of the aformentioned posts in that Paintball pants are a beautiful thing. Moving from khaki cargos to the CIRCLE agility (www.circlepaintball.com) was amazing. It actually did help me step up my game! On the other hand, I dont wear any Paintball Jersey. Ive got an old button up baseball Tee from a store I used to work at (The Sports Barn). Me and a couple of the co-workers all owned mags, so whenever we play together we all wear the old employee jerseys. Its fun. Other than that, I just wear whatever shirt that I dont wear on a regular basis...Livin in Southern Cali, You dont really need to worry about the cold

I actually don't agree with you guys. I like wearing my paintball specific clothes. I wear my diablo jersye, empire pants, dye gloves, Jt Mask, and cleats. It's cool going out somewhere to eat after wards and everybody's staring at you, like what the heck is that guy wearing those clothes for. I love sporting paintball casuals too. I started talking to some kid at wendys because of my empire lanyard. Cool stuff.

I use to play in a pair of dickies and just a skate tee.

I now play in a pair of circle pants and a jersey mainly because i got the jersey for free and its nice to have a pair of pants that arnt going to rip if they get caught up while playing.

I actually like the jersey now because it keeps me cooler than playing in just a t-shirt, better breath ability allows me to sweat less and play harder.

Yup that's how I am. When I first started playing my dad gave me this set of like dark green coveralls (one big piece). Problem was my dad is a good foot and a half, at least, taller than me. So they were a little big. Now I have a cheap pair of camo pants and a long sleeved Minnesota Twins t-shirt (I never normally wear long sleeves so I had no use for the shirt). Now I have money left over to get my e-mag....FINALLY!!!
