What articles of clothing make you think the person wearing them is a moron?

Someone on this thread has mentioned "running shirts" as bad, mornic, etc. What are "running shirts"? Like the t-shirt you get when you run a race or a t-shirt made of dri-fit type material made by adidas, nike, etc.? Much appreciated.

As for me, I would say boat shoes worn by frat boy d-bags on dry land. Totally counterintuitive. They are designed to be worn on a boat and only on a boat so that you don't get a white boat dirty from wearing shoes you wear around everywhere. You are supposed to change into them the seond you step on the boat. You are defeating the purpose by wearing boat shoes everywhere.

projects a feeling of sophistication and competency then so be it, agree to disagree.

- 120$ Asics/Nike Shox when I know you average more in alcoholic drinks/week than you do miles.

- Ridiculous looking vintage sweatshirts/hoodies that looked like you stole them from my 5th grade salvation army bag when in reality you paid +$40 for the item at Urban Outfitters. However, when I innocently wore my cute little t-shirt with the unicorn and rainbow on it about 15 years ago that cost about $5.99, I was the idiot.

- Giant fugly vintage earrings/necklaces that look like you robbed my dead Grandmother's grave. (RIP Grandma love you).

- Any shoe that claims to tone your ass while you walk in them.

- Straight-legged jeans. I will give about credit to the %5 of the population that is able to actually pull them off.

- When sorostitutes wear their sorority t-shirts to the gym, but insist upon taking a pair of scissors and cutting a hole in just about over available space of the shirt until everything but their nipple is exposed. I would prefer you to just got shirtless because at least everyone can thoroughly check you out and also, you won't run the risk of getting your shirt caught in the elliptical being strangled to death. Not that I would complain ...

- When middle-aged adults wear giant shirts with any of the following characters: Tweety Bird, Tinker Bell, Winnie the Pooh, Betty Boop. Have some standards.

- When any of my neighbors insist upon going straight to church in their camo gear instead of coming home and showering/changing after shooting up half the deer in my back yard and leaving behind empty cans of Bush Light at 6:30am.

- When families insist upon matching and everyone is spotted walking through Best Buy wearing Nascar Racing jackets. Even the 6 month old, Billy Bob Jr.the III will have one.

I saw an Abercrombie and Fitch shirt one time, one of those faux-vintage t-shirts, that said "Abercrombie and Fitch Barefoot Beach Marathon," and purported to be a shirt from such a race. I thought about how massively unpleasant running 26.2 miles, on the beach, BAREFOOT, would be, and how anyone who knew anything at all about running would know that. Hence, I felt both the wearer and the maker of the shirt to be foolish. BTW, this was 10 years or so ago, before the whole Born to Run barefoot running craze.

sounds like we hit close to home for ya. so coach, stop wearing those 1970's dolphin shorts to xc meets OK?[/quote]

It's "Dolfin" . And when you're done you can rest your weary head on my lap.

Ding!

People who wear the t-shirt of the race they just entered, DURING the race. This is just bad form and is similar to those who attend a concert, buy a ridculously overpriced concert t-shirt, and then put it on for the duration of the show.

I guess the exception would be little kids, because they always seem to want to wear the race shirt in that race. Parents need to be vigilant and correct this behavior.

I've seen a lot of people do this. May be a bit dumb, but otherwise I don't see anything wrong with it. It's usually people who dont care too much about finishing times.

It's kind of a sing they aren't a good runner. Some people think you HAVE to wear it. Hey, it's ok. I ran when there were 20-30 competitive runners in a race and that's it.

I like the mass participation and the parties after.

Haven't read all ten pages,so forgive me if this has been said, but that kind of reminds of runners who like to strut around race expos in their Boston Marathon jackets.

(And it's for comments like this that I remain semi-anonymous, because this would piss off a few people I know.)

fuel belts are a joke. My hometown is full of people running 10:00 miles with their fuel belts. Fuel Belts are made for the ultramarathon runners and no one else, imo.

Zoot Suits for sure!!

It's gotta be grown men wearing football jerseys. No one past the age of 18 should ever wear the jersey of another man.
