Yo, do they actually sell Giblert Melendez jerseys? Because that's the only one I'd think about buying.

Sadly, no

 

[Billy no mates]

Like me shoehorned into my wife's knickers and bra......but still less embarrassing than a full kit

there are gambling stores on the corner, like a 7-11 in .. wherever that is?? thats degen

There's about as many bookmakers as 7-11's (not even exaggerating). Until 4 or 5 years ago when it was privatised one chain was even owned by the state.

Quality thread mate. Must keep my eyes peeled for FKWs. The only time I've witnessed this phenomenon was when playing 5 a side football. FKWs are always shite at 5 a side.

I was only reminded of it when I read this very accurate article. Glad to see FKW has become a thing on the internet.

I never even heard of this phenomenon till recently. Yes I do live on a rock.

In my town, anywhere there's a pub there's a betting shop beside it. There's a lot of pubs. And an endless supply of 18-35 year old men spend all day going in between the two and smoking outside both.

american is not immune (although granted its slightly more acceptable when actually attending a match as opposed to wearing it out shopping)

actually.. no.. no its not

oh here we are...

NFL full kit wankers, good find my good sir!

After reviewing this thread and careful deliberation, I have determined that the American version of the FKW is the guy who cycles non-competitively (no cycling competitions, no triathlons, etc.) but rides around your neighborhood in full competitive gear. This was mentioned by a poster earlier, and I fully agree:

You've just summed up 90% of the british isles there my friend. At least in the republic of Ireland you don't have those gambling machines with roulette on.....those things are brutal.

Good one. I see these morons all the time when I go running.

You get them over here too. They've clearly spent thousands on all the gear and a fancy bike, all so they can do a few miles a week looking like they took a wrong turn during the Surrey League Handicap Series.

Yeah we do, in pubs, chippers, anywhere they can be jammed in. And I don't blame the businesses for doing it when there's an endless supply of braindead morons in tracksuits willing to just throw

as a member of the cycling community i can assure that cycling fkw's are breeding rapidly in the US especially and yes, are frowned upon and endlessly mocked by the cycling community as a whole.

The only thing worse in cycling terms than a fkw is someone wearing either a maillot jaune (Yellow leaders jersey), or a polka dot (king of the mountains jersey), or if they are really idiotic world champions jersey.

There was a guy at work that would always talk about his "6 thousand dollar bike" and how it cost 6 thousand dollars. I asked him if he competed and he said no it is just for exercise. I told him I got a 150 dollar bike for exercise, and since its heavier I don't have to ride it as long to get the same amount of of a workout. He had no response...

Epic thread is epic.

Club shops need to do a service to fans and not even stock shorts and socks.

Getting older, I've pretty much phased footy shirts out of my wardrobe which as a Norwich fan is no great sacrifice. Will wear he occasional classic like the Barca centinery, Retro Milan or the England 1996.

First person to post someone on the street in the full Reebok tracksuit and tee for a fighter should just win Sherdog.

Strange, went in to two bookies in Dublin when I was there for the fight (one a Paddy Power) and neither had them.

Ah right, I thought you meant in general. Maybe they're not in the bookies, I haven't been in one in years, the machines are everywhere else though.
