With the new season approaching I'd like to do some football-culture research!
When I compare English crowds with German, Dutch or French, I often realize that there are less kit-wearing fans in English stands. It might be because It often pisses down like hell or maybe it's really a culture-difference? Especially in Germany wearing a kit in your home stand seems to be a must! In Switzerland a lot of the fans just wear a scarf and self made sweaters with a club crest or something!
Well I even wear a kit at home when United is on the telly. But when I go to the pub, i put something on that just allows the CLUB CREST to shine because I don't like running through the city like a fucking placard!

I wear the shirt whenever United play. If I were going to a match at OT then I'd wear the shirt as well. I've met English United supporters who don't wear the shirt but instead wear the colors.

Of course I remember you’re a yank (such a horrible word) hence the cheeky wink. I was playing with you.
;D!
The Americans have trouble spelling things, center and color to name a few. He he. And we all know you secretly want to be British and live in Manchester, so you can throw rocks at Darren Fletcher. Lol.

Lol.  yeah well you know how it goes with us Americans, we just have to be different so we got creative and changed a few words around. Yankee has negative connotations here as well, usually used by southerners to refer to us northerners however in NY we call the baseball team "Yanks" for short. |

Yeh, I always wear my shirt. My mates who I go with never do, but it's not something I've grown out of yet lol. I like contributing to the masses of red around the ground.

As I live away....I always wear the away kit. Still struggle into some of the older kit too but the beer belly will have to be reduced to deal with horizontal stripes !  |
