Soccer jerseys - short or long sleeve?

Lemlin · 03-09-2005 1:24pm #1

I'm debating whether or not to get the new green Celtic away jersey. Was just wondering which people thought was better - short or long sleeve?

chillywilly · 03-09-2005 1:28pm

Id go for the long sleeve, mostly because i havnt had one before and summer is over so you have to wrap up!!!

Pepe LeFrits · 03-09-2005 1:43pm

Are you considering wearing it as a fashion item? If so, are you a skanger?

If it's for sport or for wearing to Celtic matches, then I'd say you should get the long sleeve if you get cold easily, or short if you get warm easily...

Lemlin · 04-09-2005 9:21am

Yep, I'm a born n bred Cavan skanger! Ah no, even if I wanted to, with my accent hanging round outside shops intimidating people and asking passer-bys to buy me 'smokes' just wouldn't work!

Its for sport and wearing to the pub for Ireland games etc. And anyway, I live down the country (live in Cavan, go to college in Sligo) where a Celtic jersey isn't a skanger item.

Every time I see a Celtic jersey, I feel like becoming a doctor so I can sterlise that type.

maybe get an irish jersey then instead of a british club one,atleast some of the money would get to the FAI to promote the irish game...

Who'd want to give money to the FAI? They're a useless shower.

Go for a short sleeve jersey.

Definitely. The long-sleeved ones just don't look right for some reason.

Kinetic^ · 04-09-2005 1:07pm

If you want a jumper then buy a jumper but jerseys were not meant to be long sleeved.

whiskeyman · 04-09-2005 2:24pm

short sleeve for a footie jersey.
If you want to wear it out during colder times, just wear a long-sleeved T under it.
Will almost ad a touch of style to a skanger garment....

Lemlin · 04-09-2005 2:46pm

Thanks but I don't think I'll be buying it now. The amount of skanger comments on the thread has put me right off!

Yeah put the cash you were going to use to get the celtic crap towards the jeans (referring to the other thread)

Medicine so you can sterilize knackers?

chillywilly · 05-09-2005 1:00pm

hey rb_ie just to let you know that some of us who wear celtic jerseys are not knackers and infact like football. Dont be so narrowminded

SexyD4Lady · 05-09-2005 5:07pm

Good idea but no. COMMERCE AND GERMAN!!!

SexyD4Lady · 05-09-2005 5:07pm

No, but good idea. It's... COMMERCE AND GERMAN!!

dudara · 05-09-2005 5:13pm

Celtic are not an Irish club, therefore wearing their jersey to watch an irish match means nothing. (I know that they have Irish connections, but there is a distinction).

As to the question of sleeves, go short. The long sleeved Celtic jersey just doesn't look right for some reason. Add a long-sleeved t-shirt underneath if you want.

TO all the other posters who bring the question of skangers into this.. COP YOURSELVES ON. there are skanger connotations to the jersey, but why shouldn't he buy one if he wants.

Bloody hell, every thread on this board seems to descend into bitchy comments on skangers, goths, D4'ers etc.

why would you give money to a british based club to show your support for your national team as he stated?

magpie · 07-09-2005 7:16pm

wearing to the pub for Ireland games

That makes absolutely no sense. I know its green and white, but then again so is Yeovil Town FC. Why don't you wear that down the pub to watch Ireland matches instead? Because Yeovil Town aren't viewed by Knackers as the footballing wing of the IRA, unlike Celtic.

Jonny Arson · 07-09-2005 11:28pm

Go short sleeves!!!! Long sleeve shirts are for losers afraid of the cold

The new Celtic away shirt is minging anyway.

Jersies are for playing football in. Not for wearing as fashion items. :eek:

I'm trying to think if there's a bigger turn off than a guy wearing a Celtic jersey.....

Nope, I can't think of one.

Jersies are worn to show ones support of the team. Who said Lemlin was wearing it to be fashionable.

Shrimp · 09-09-2005 11:50pm

personally i think long-sleeve footbal jerseys look odd..

Lemlin · 10-09-2005 1:16am

Jez lads, there's no need to get so worked up over a jersey. As pointed out, no, Celtic are not an Irish team like, say, Shelbourne or Cork but there are Irish connections.

And while supporters of the Eircom League may argue that there is no reason to wear a Celtic jersey to an Irish match, have you ever noticed the amount of Celtic jerseys you see at games? I'm not an Eircom League supporter so I see no trouble with seeing Celtic as an Irish team.

Also, for those of you who sees jersey wearers as skangers, this may be the case in Dublin but its not the same down the country. No offence but we don't have to put up with quite so many youths hanging round our Centras

thankfully

Anyway, all this discussion is for other forums completely. I'm not getting the jersey now so let's leave it at that.

The people wearing them are invariably morons.

please explain how

They are wearing the jersey of a scottish club to an Irish match. Why not wear a Panathanikos jersey, or a Hibs jersey, or a Notre Dame jersey? Their connections to Ireland are pretty much the same as Celtic's.

The reason they choose the Celtic jersey is becuase it is the jersey of a club which has a very republican and sectarian fan base (at least in Ireland) and they believe that by wearing it, they are showing how Irish they are, even though they are supporting a so called "garrison game". These people are also the most likely to boo any former of current Rangers player, regardless of their religion or background, simply because they played for a team Celtic has a rivalry with.

In short, they are morons.

Executive Steve · 12-09-2005 12:42pm

in all fairness, quite apart from the unutterably bizarre implications of wearing a celtic jersey [and i could, quite frankly, care less] soccer jerseys are the vilest most unattractive pieces of clothing ever devised by the hand of man. anybody wearing them who isn't actually going to or from a sports ground should be put in the stocks and laughed at.

Must get a Yeovil Town jersey...

Whatever about the arguments for and against Celtic jerseys, it's definitely better to get an Irish jersey instead.

Good to see the Celtic jersey is made by Nike now.

The two ultimate skanger brands finally come together!

Soccer jerseys - short or long sleeve?
