Full kit w**kers, now an MMA problem? Challenge....

[Rayzach]

sir i just want to say that this is an excellent post from a cultural exchange point of view and the picture selection is great as well. ive seen the full kit wanker effect in action but didnt know there was a term for it, very satisfying thread all round

I agree, an original and interesting thread which made me laugh more than once. A breath of fresh air from the usual vitriol and hate on here. The fact there is already a coined term for this phenomenon is great!

Well done.

Holy Grail of all FKW's - note the shinpads and captains armband

Just needs his studs on to really complete the package.

Just trying to think what the MMA equivalent would be.

I think walking out for a stare down after a fight wearing your own fight kit instead of a suit would be the closest. Imagine when they brought out Rashad to meet Rampage after the Jardine fight if he came out wearing a full Rashad Evans reebok fight kit with fight shorts included

Be like when pro-wrestlers come out in their wrestling gear despite not having a match booked.

No real full kit wankers over here. In fact people cop shit for wearing football jerseys at the AFL over a certain age, generally once you reach your 20s it is frowned upon, just buy a polo shirt and be done with it.

I think you'd be surprised.....(although it looks like Australians in the UK)

If they're happy then why be so angry over it?

Just let people be. Whatever lets them feel comfy. You don't have to agree with it but you don't have to get worked up over it either.

No one is angry fella, you've missed the point. They're being mocked.

 

[TheShockmaster]

Okay but to be fair the people you are posting look like they are at the game or a tailgate party of some sort. Some of the full kit wankers posted earlier look like they are taking it a step further and wearing it in their daily lives. I'm sure somewhere out there in America someone is doing that, but I can't recall seeing it.

It's worse when you're at the supermarket or taking the dog for a walk, but it's still not acceptable at a game. In fact you're just opening yourself up to be mocked more.

No. That's really Derek Anderson sitting in the stands.

Who is that?

I haven't seen a Full kit wearer in the US. But I do see guys wearing their bike gear even when there doesn't appear to be a bike anywhere near by them. They always look ridiculous (even when a bike is near by).

Fucking hell the season hasn't even started yet and they're out in their new kits already.

 

[GordaoPreguico]

How is this a thing?

Holly hell.
I done this ONE time in my life because I lost a bet.
I felt like a loser the entire time.
I lost it over a football game with my boss and had to wear the winners full kit for work a whole day.

 

[roaringboy]

I bet a lot of the English ones are stags being made to wear a full kit so they look like a cnut!

 

[TheShockmaster]

Can anyone confirm what Khabib was wearing on his lower half at WSOF?

 

[wlu29]

I hate the word kit

 

[eon001]

lol Full kit wankers. I like it. You get alot of noobs that come into the gym. Never done MMA before but they have the brand new shin pads, gum shield, full tapout gear. Never thrown a punch. Friend of mind would brand them, "All the gear, no idea" .

 

[TheShockmaster]

This guy wanted to cover all bases yesterday.

 

[Wadtucket]

I've gone full kit wanker as of late, and it has changed my life for the better

Everybody needs to go full kit wanker, it's imperative
