NRL marketing morons.

Chook you better not go to the next Roosters Hall of Fame Dinner then, those events are Black Tie.

 

[Valheru]

Another one here.

I don't mind this idea though, let the fans wear what they would wear to the footy. I would also like players to turn up to all events in their playing gear because that is what they wear at the footy too. Headgear and strapping included

Yeah that would work, ever been to a souths home game?

 

[no name]

Looks like you f**ked up by not going Chooky boy.
Plenty of jerseys and team colours.

Edit: can't really see in the photo but lots of jerseys worn.

 

[Chook]

A royal reception would be White Tie or Morning Jacket standard of dress.
A movie premiere would be formal.


What do you wear to a wedding? Seriously.

Stupid question unless you're inviting a bunch of footy fans to it.

Chook.

 

[Chook]

But you did get invited.

Chook.

By a Raiders fan and you can't get much more bogan than that.

Chook.

So why have the stupid dress code if it wasn't going to be enforced.

I seriously resent the implication that "footy fans" of which myself, my family and my mates happen to be, are incapable of dressing and behaving appropriately at a function. Where do you draw the conclusion that "footy fans" are only interested in wearing footy jerseys? I've been a footy fan all my life. I own and have only ever owned ONE jersey and would never be caught dead wearing it to any other occasion than the football. Even then I wont wear it if I am going to pub/restaurant before or after. Most of my mates are the same.

What?! But it's a footy thing not a G-20 Summit!! We should be allowed to wear footy shorts to it!

FFS even my bush club end-of-year presentation has a collared shirt-good pants type dress code. It's not hard. I have tons of footy jerseys that I wear to the footy, training and casual occasions. I also have tons of good shirts, pants, suits and ties that I wear to appropriate events.

 

[Flapper]

It's season launch, it's meant to look professional for christ sake. This is up there with one of the stupidest threads I've ever seen. I mean f**king honestly, how f**king amateurish would we look as a code and a sport if the dress code was footy jerseys and casual footwear?

No one talked about behaviour so don't bring it up.

Geese I dunno, perhaps because we were asked to attend a footy function?

A fan all your life and you have one jersey? How old are you, one season?

Chook.

There were jersey's there after all idiot, how stupid do you feel now.

Chook.

Chook.

Yes. I have one jersey. A retro 1989 Aussie Duct Sharks jersey I bought about 10 years ago. A cotton one. I had it altered so it fits better and I wear it about twice a season only to games. I was given a signed jersey for my 30th but I framed it and hung it in the man cave. I can't for the life of me work out why anyone would want to wear one of those modern polyester jobs plastered with logos. They look and feel like shit. At least those older jerseys served a purpose in keeping you warm. There are far more stylish ways to support your team.

Because if there wasnt a dress code theyd have f**ktards like yourself showing up in thongs and footy shorts to go with the jersey.

Now go and have a shower, filthy merkin.

 

[seanoff]

get a navy suit, a white or even light blue shirt, some decent shoes

and dress like a grown man, not a 10 year old.

I agree about the old cotton jersey's.

My original point was the dress code was stupid and fans should have been allowed to wear their jerseys and as it turned out they were, so my point was valid.

Chook.

 

[newman]

Almost everyone unanimously disagrees with you that the dress code was "stupid". Just because a bunch of like minded bogans chose to ignore a gazzeted and clear dress code and wear a footy jersey to an evening event, doesn't prove the dress code was "stupid". All you've done is paint yourself as a brain dead bogan and reinforced the stereotype that RL fans are uncultured simpletons. Well done.

Great thread, would recommend to others.

Translation: Look everyone, I went to the season launch.

PS. I'm a bogan incapable of dressing for an occasion.

Spot on Snappy, got it in 1.
