What is it with some Man Utd fans not wanting to wear the Red shirt to games?? I’m proud to wear the red shirt wherever I am, so what is it with some united fans being against wearing the red shirt?? I just don’t get it. Is it because of the business side of things?? If so then surely it’s ok to buy a strip and nothing else?? I just don’t get it I thought United fans would be proud to wear the red shirt.
Well... I wear them quite often... nomatter if it's a matchday or not... But I do have one special I HAVE to wear while they're playing!
I'm proud to wear it any time. I make sure its visible on match-days no matter how bleeding cold it is (Tine and NWR will tell you that 
).
I know what you mean though, there are plenty who chose not to wear it.

In Manchester you are not 'One of the boys' if you wear your colours.

Goes back to the hooligan era.

Also wearing football strips to matches is a relatively new thing and most mancs wear a badge on their jacket collars

If/when i go up to the Depor game, i'm going to be wearing my Red shirt with pride. But i'll have a jacket on because 1. It will be cold, and 2. I'm paranoid that my letters (FERDINAND 6 ) will peel off <img src="graemlins/nervous.gif" border="0" alt="[Nervous]" />

In a way as i said before, Im as prowd as the next person for being a red but I really dont think i need to go round wearing half the megastore to prove that fact...
And love it when all our lot from w-s-m are at the bus stop at 08:30 in the morning and im the only one there without a shirt
"Im better than yooooou!" without saying it, its great!

Silk scarfs tied to each wrist, with my denim jacket with United patches all over the back 'United - Ace of Clubs', 'Stretford Ender', 'Docherty's Red & White Army' and the obligitory Admiral shirt underneath... Sing in the paddock <img src="graemlins/keano.gif" border="0" alt="[Keano]" />
You sound like a German 77 with your scarves tied to your wrists and your denim jacket......
I bet 77 had one of them 'Next to sex i love United best' patches on his jacket

Afraid I disagree with you there g. Why does not wearing a shirt make you better than anyone else, and in what capacity?
I'm with Stan on this;
Wear it - be proud. Don't wear it - be proud.
i think its fashion at the moment most lads from manchester wont wear their shirt to the game as its looked down on however most do have em and wear em when they are playing footy and shit.
plus if u wanna go on the piss in town afterwards you aint gonna get in anywhere!

I wear a shirt and tie, and leather coat to the games.
Don't wear one and will never wear one.
But I'm still proud to be red..

I always wear a united shirt to the match, not always the Red one. I have to admit it i still quite like the Green & Yellow, Newton Heath centenary shirt. It always reminds me of when Eric played for us.

Dont know where the feck you got that from???
Not saying i dident buy a shirt in my time but lampshades and duvets?
oh please...
this is my gripe about United being too willing to wear "away" and mix and match colours at every opportunity. Red shirts(ok), white shorts(ok)...but white socks too?
I don't know who the kit manager is, it's been going on for years, but I thought the point of a 2nd and 3rd kit was the home kit would be sacrosant...red white and black...special?

I don't get those who look down on others for wearing colours to the match. There seems to be a 'better than the rest' attitude in the "hardcore" fans and its a load of crap if you ask me. I wear my red shirt with pride on matchday and I dont give a fcuk who looks down their nose at me (although they'd have to be feckin tall to look down on me!).
My rating of how true a fan is depends more on if they get their arse out of their seat and stand, sing & shout to support the team, or just sit there to be 'entertained'..

I think all fans should sing, but have you noticed that although we've very loud away support, our away results have been poor?
everyone should sing at games imo...
You from Congleton are you c1?
I know someone from Congleton, he used to live round the corner from me but then moved up there...

Definately. You may as well not go if you're not gonna contribute to the atmosphere.
Sing you're hearts out for the lads...
