Posers and when....

[SPECK]

Everyday at school I see a lot of students wearing skateboarding clothes. They wear shirts from companies such as Adio, Volcom, etc.... 50% of the people that wear these brands do not even skateboard.

So when do you think there will be paintbal posers, in the form of clothing? They wear DYE, Smart Parts, Empire and other well known paintball brands, but do not actually play paintball.

It will be interesting when these "paintball-clothing-posers" are as numerous as "skateboard-clothing-posers" are.

Just a thought

i've been skating for 6 years.. and i NEVER wear skate clothes because of so many moron posers. i just pick up stuff that looks tight at a thrift store and rock that. same with paintball

in fact, i refuse to wear name brands of any sort, but that's another rant in and of itself.

I have not seen any paintball clothing unless it was a field sweatshirt or something like that. I never see any paintball brand name clothing or even themed clothing on the street.

The reason you see so many non-skateboarders wearing clothing from skating companies is because you can find those clothes readily, in stores that non-skateboarders shop at anyway. If you want paintball clothes, you have to seek them out either through a paintball website or through a dedicated pro shop in your area.

When Wal-Mart and Target and the like start carrying DYE and Smart Parts, then maybe you'll see more people picking them up. Until then though, it will probably be a rare occurance.

lol this is so junior high.

can't someone wear what they want when they want without constantly getting ridiculed?

its already happened, i met a kid at a friends party who was wearing a dye beanie, i asked him what marker he had and he said he didnt play.

then again, aside from it being annoying if you try to talk to someone and they dont even play the sport their clothing advertises... it really doesnt matter, at all.

ZOMG!!!!! we have posers? That means we're kinda a big deal....

I wear my DYE hoodie around campus all the time, and people always ask me if I play, so this kinda thing might happen more than any of us think...

Those dye beanies are quite stylish

i wear my several jerseys and shirts, hats, pants, ect around school all the time. but see i ball... me= not poser eheheh

You can find them at practically most fields.

It's the buffoons who wear the fancy clothing, but their skills only rival those of a bag of dirt.

Exactly!!

I wear converse on occation and technically they were basketball shoes from the get go, i dont play basketball. Whats wrong with sale items, if i buy 4 shirts from pacsun for $25, does that meant i have to learn how to skate before i wear them? NO, it means I shop the perimeter!

i saw some guy going into kohls in a dye hoodie the other day....
thats all though.

This thread is silly...

I see kids wearing shirst with Marly, Hendix, Nirvanna and all kinds of musicians that passed long before these children were born. That doesn't make someone a poseur.

Being a poseur is an attitude (a bad one at that), Not a look.
