Fashion Police: Sports Fan Edition (revised)

A few months ago, A Glam Slam compiled a list of the “Top 10 Fashion Faux Pas,” when it comes to attending a sporting event. Let’s take a look at that list:

  1. Wearing the jersey of a team from a different sport, or a team who is not playing in the game you are attending. Unless your wardrobe consists only of team jerseys (which would bring up a whole different set of problems), stick to the teams in the game.
  1. Wearing your own name on the back of your jersey if you are older than the age of 10. You might have dreamed of becoming a professional athlete but let’s face it, it’s time to move on.
  1. While it’s great to show pride in your team through your attire, there’s no need to go overboard. This is dedicated to the women who feel it’s necessary to wear a team logo t-shirt and jacket. And hat. And jeans. And earrings…
  1. Pale pink fan gear. Jerseys, hats, hoodies, it doesn’t matter. Avoid the pink.
  1. Guys in suits; unless you are coming straight from the office, then you’re off the hook.
  1. Face paint. Enough said.
  1. Spelling out your team name or favorite player on your t-shirt with a bunch of pals. After a few beers, it never turns out the way you planned.
  1. Wearing outdated fan gear. Newsflash: Brett Favre no longer plays for the Green Bay Packers. However, throwback jerseys are fully acceptable.
  1. How about a lack of fashion? If it is the dead of winter and you have a beer belly yet still feel the need to go shirtless, that’s a problem. If you’re a JETS season ticket holder and you sit in section 317, that means you. Wink, wink.
  1. Women who are dressed like they are heading to the club instead of a sporting event. If you are trying to draw attention to yourself, this is not the place to do so. You can trust Glam Gal that just this once, the guys are focused on thegame, not on you.
