reading this thread i realized how funny i USED to be.... :?
This thread is funny as hail LOL.
Ironically my dojo shirt got me out of an altercation. I was heading to loo after class let out when I tried to open the door; it was locked. "Aw crap you gotta be kidding me," I exclaimed. Suddendly the the door flies open and this big, huge, ripped guy comes out, and just stands in the doorway, blocking it, so I couldn't get by.
On top of that he starts looking me in the eye, trying to stare me down; mad dogging me with this smug cocky look on his face. "Is there a problem here" he asks in this, wannabe tough guy voice. Inside my head I am thinking "its a good thing my wrestling coach just taught class takedowns. I might need them." This contest goes on for a couple seconds until he looks down and sees my shirt that read" Erik Paulson's Combat Submission Wrestling." Suddendly his face drops. I calmly retort "naw son. Just trying to use the bathroom. You done?!" Not breaking eye contact the entire time. He then hurriedly walks away and I breath a sigh of relief.
I'm sure it wasn't going to turn violent but its nice to know someone will think twice about taking the piss with you LOL.

I think it's totally cool/acceptable to wear your gym/club/dojo tshirt.
It is usually a pretty important way to support/advertise.
If it is not a mega-gym, the revenue probably really helps too.
I know it might sound arbitrary (because it is), but there's a big difference between wearing a dojo shirt, & wearing the Affliction/TapOut type stuff.
Not that either should get you into (or out of) a fight.
