Would you wear your teams colors/gear at opponents stadium?

A couple days ago another death after a game. a 24 year old dodger fan went to the giants/dodgers game in sanfrancisco. After the game at a nearby bar he was stabbed to death over a sports argument.

This is happening too often, beatings, stabbings, throwing beer cans and other stuff. I used to go to go watch the Blazers beat the sonics with a sonic fan friend, never had an issue. But times are changing. I just don't think I'd sport my teams colors anymore. I saw what was looking like a brawl-to-be at a Ducks/USC game a couple years ago before a gaggle of cops showed up just on time.

I certainly wouldn't wear colors in California.

 

Since i can fight and im not really intimidated by most people yes

 

Depends on what sport and where. Basketball seems pretty safe to me just about anywhere, football in Oakland, fuck no! Dodgers are a pretty sketch area also. It also depends on the person wearing the colors IMO. I have a friend who when we go out he is always getting in fights, and claims everyone is "mean muggin" him. I'm much bigger, stronger than him and no one ever wants to fight me, its all in the attitude.

 

This is true

 

I would. I know how to walk away from trouble if need be.

 

Agreed

 

I always go to a laker or clipper game with my blazer gear

 

Why would I travel out of state to see my team play?

Other than that, sure, it's my right to dress myself. I think it's called "The Unspoken Amendment".

 

I wear team colors when I shower

 

The question wasn't directed at Lakers fans like yourself.

 

Yes. But I don't go to laker games anymore because I get into fights. I can't even watch games at bars because I want to smash a lakers fan every minute.

Clipper games are fine usually though. Last time some little kid started talking shit and I sonned him pretty good.

hoop fam

 

...yes, 100%! I wore a bright orange dri-fit polo and a brand new Beavers hat in San Diego last weekend. I didn't hear shit from anyone...not even when the Aztecs were winning! Pussies

I have been to Blazer games in Seattle and Oakland. No Blazer gear The Fans in Seattle were always kinda rabid, but in Oakland they didn't seem to care. Of course that was back in the day when they rarely won.

 

I have worn Blazers gear in Los Angeles, Sacramento and Oakland. I have gotten trash talk but never felt physically threatened. On one occasion the trash talk went over the edge and the other Kings fans (this was in Sacto) called the guy out, saying trash talk is one thing, personal insult another. I also had home fans try to get security to kick me out for cheering for the Blazers (doesn't work, I am not screaming obscenities!)

This is just sick.

 

In '92 I lived in Chicago and got to see a lot of Bulls games...it was good stuff and they obviously were fun to watch. It was just the start of their run and they were a lot more likeable than in their later years, so I'd cheer 'em on in most of the games I went to. When it came to the Blazers, obviously all bets were off. The Blazers played a pre-season game in Chicago and I wore Blazer stuff to that game and it was a huge mistake. Dude next to me lit up a cigarette and exhaled every breath right into my face. The usher was right there and ignored it. I also got a bunch of choice words/threats thrown my way. When the Blazers came back in the regular season, I wore a Bulls hat and cheered my guts out for the Blazers. No one said a thing to me. It was like that Bulls hat put a magical forcefield around me and the nimrod Bulls fans became docile.

I could do it because I didn't mind the Bulls that much back then. That technique wouldn't work with the Lakers, OKC and a couple other teams because I wouldn't be able to wear their gear without throwing up.
