    Paintball turning mainstream

    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

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

                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.

                    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.

                        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..

                            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.
                            Hey, look at that! It's Santa!

                              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.
