Speaking of which - remember our greatest ever kit (apart from the e&c now), the navy away kit? I managed to pick one up last week for $20.

I have a lot of football jerseys, but I rarely wear them. Usually just train in them. I'll probably wear my new Glory jersey a little bit though.

Wearing a football strip you're a walking billboard advertising what ever your club chooses to tell you, you want. The best football strips in the A-League are or were the Newcastle sponsor free shirts.

I find the cheaper supporter tops usually don't have advertising on them. You actually pay more for a 'replica' shirt, which actually has the sponsors logo front and centre. I tend to wear the team polo or supporter short that just has the team logo and the A-League logo and nothing else.

I will be wearing mine to the gym but that is usually it.

They don't sell advertising space as far as I can tell, so no.

"Hyundai A-League" emblazoned on the front would disagree with that statement.

I wear my 'real shirts' (i.e. the ones that aren't cheap knock-offs from China) out casually, although I've only got a Blackburn one, Star Wars one and Glory one. I have a few cheap fake ones, but I just wear them to training.

I wear a Celtic shirt in public from time to time, can be approached by other Celtic fans or Rangers fans for a bit of a mostly friendly chat. I used to have dreads like Henrik Larrson and the Celtic fans used to love that, was photographed a few times.

I wear a St Pauli shirt out and about too. Have worn it at a rave, it attracts Germans for a chat. They love that you have a obscure German shirt on and not one of the big clubs.

I only wear Victory gear to Victory games for some reason.

Isn't St Pauli now just a trendy label? love St Pauli and all but they've become a brand synonymous with left and gay/women's rights movements?

St Pauli shirts are like the Ramones shirts, everyone trying to fit the scene has one.

St Pauli is the non-conformist's football jersey.

They probably wear Vans as well.

I've got a few A-League kits but most of them look clunky with all the shit on them and the dud badges. The ones I wear out are more sleek and well-fitted, like a Dynamo Moscow one. The cyrillic on the back is usually a conversation starter.

By now, American Samoa must have realised that Australias 22-0 win over Tonga two days earlier was no fluke.

I wear a few of them out and about.
My Lithuania jersey, the 125th anniversary Arsenal one, the 05/06 Highbury shirt, the 06 Australia away shirt. Most of my others I only wear at matches or when doing sport.

They have the "Hyunday A-League" logo on the polo shirts for many of the clubs, Hyundai having paid for the naming rights, so there is paid advertising on them.

The Melbourne Victory Polo also has KFC on it.

I agree with that. I'm talking about non-merchandise clothing, however.

Yeah, the big emblazoned designer logo on them is definitely not advertising.

If you can't differentiate between the sponsorship plastered all over jerseys and the small logo a garment maker places on their work, I'm afraid it is indeed you who is the retard.

That's true to a point, but I'm not going to pay money to walk around advertising various businesses I have no interest in. It's fairly difficult to avoid a garment without some sort of logo.

It's actually Calvin Klein but good on you for making the effort to call me a pleb. That's quite a stretch for someone who lives in Adelaide.
