Whatsup with the Affliction clothing tough guys?

**zero_proto** · 05-19-2008, 09:30 AM

i don't see it as much as where i hang out, but that is mostly because i have been on deployment, but the guys who wear it here are houses!!!

I can totally understand how it can bug you, especially if you really do it (MMA) and then you see everyone and there mom wearing it thinking they have skills....Sometimes it may help them or motivate them, they may come in decked out with the gear but if they put their heart out on the mat then it is cool. It is not cool when they come decked out hardly bust a sweat and still think they accomplished something. Or maybe they just wear it because they like it, i just think of it like this........if you wear it fine i could care less, but it is when you wear something and you think you are the shit, that is what i don't like.

I bought them strictly because they help me bench more. Then I got creative and cut up one shirt and made socks at of it, now my 40 sprint is 2 sec faster. I was on a roll so I decided to make a few condoms out of the left over parts from the sock project and women won’t leave me allow. Tomorrow I'll start adding cuts up piece of affliction hats to my breakfast.

i am thinking about putting some cut up affliction shirts into my gas.

Yep I know what you mean, and like someone posted above ive been wearing affliction, ed hardy and other similar styles for a couple years. But lately since the new TUF (The ultimate fighter) generation of MMA fans are getting into it...

One good thing for you is Affliction is no longer allowed to be seen in a UFC event, wether it's fighters wearing a shirt or a poster, they are starting their own UFC type venue. http://www.afflictionbanned.com/

Yes I do train, yes I do fight, but no im not pro

For those who just like to watch MMA, got to remember that all those kiddies wearing those shirts and stuff help fund MMA

Funny how people will jump straight on a band-wagon to be like the next person; i guess Affliction and Tapout clothing will add 100 pounds to your bench kinda like the phenomenon of stickers that add horsepower to an import.

Has anyone else noticed that everywhere you go these days that you will see quite of bit of these MMA imposters?

yeah I noticed that shit too, its funny!

I was wearing affliction shirts when you could only by them online. never the skin tight ones though... only girls should wear skin tight shirts

And whats funny about it is that real MMA fighters are PAID to wear that shit, whereas wannabes go out and buy them.

Holy shit, I finally get to agree with you. Pat yourself on the back.

Well guess what. People are going to think youre wearing those shirts cuz youre a poser, regardless of a simple reason. I know, it sucks, but it makes sense.

Ill give you an example, theres a trend thats finally dying right now and that trend was GUYS WHO WEAR PINK SHIRTS. Sure, theyre not gay, they just like to wear whats in style and that color looks smashing with khakis!

The popped collar BS bugs me more then pink shirts..they both make me laugh though. Same with those tight ass emo pants..

lol

I've never weared any type of tapout or any other mma clothing except for the shirts I have to wear when I go to my mui thai class.....besides that.... I think it's stupid. Half of the people that wear it are complete pussies, like mentioned before

**blacksmoke99** · 05-19-2008, 03:32 PM

It's ironic that my avatar says tapout....

so gay
