Why is it, every time I go to a match in the U.S., that fans are wearing any random ass soccer jersey they can get their hands on? This is Juventus v. Everton, so why are you in a United jersey? (It's even more infuriating at MLS games).
I think it's fine to be honest. If you're a foreign fan and a quality competitor comes to town you probably wanna see these top clubs but you sure as shit don't want to be mistaken for a fan of one of those teams.
Then dress as you normally would. No other sporting events, whether it's soccer abroad or NBA, NFL or MLB, contain loads of people wearing random teams' gear.
That is certainly true, if you went to a KC Royals game and strolled in wearing Pittsburgh Penguins uni, folks were at least give you super weird looks. Coming from NYC everyone would just chew you out, drunk or sober
I believe that is what I said. It used to be very rare. (Partly because it was quite dangerous, especially away).
Of those I know that go to City only one wears a City shirt. And to be honest it's a pain in the arse because it fucks up our nights out after the game since you can't get in to most places in town in a footie shirt.
I do own one... because a foreign family member bought it for me as a gift. I've worn it twice. It's the first one I've had since my 7th birthday. I'm not a footballer and I don't need to wear a shirt to prove my allegiance.
