MMA Clothing Lines

When I see people wearing Affliction I ask the same thing and get the same response. The other day I seen a little kid bout 15 or 16 wearing an Xtreme Couture shirt he probably bought at champs, and asked him where he trained and he looked at me like I was crazy. I was looking for shoes at champs and stumbled into the mma clothes and met a guy that trains with the Texas state welterweight champ. We talked and he invited me to train at his gym. Its ok for fighters or fans to wear the clothes, but when I see punk -ass teenagers wearing the shirts that don't even train walkin around like thier tough and talking crap to thier friends or people that bump into them and try to start a fight to impress their lil friends or girlfriends, that is what bugs me. I train in Kenpo and MMA so I'm ready for the street or the cage. Sometimes I'm tempted to bump into them kids and see if they sart anything, but thank goodness for a lil something called assault charges :D.
 
Well personally I am not a fan of any 'bad ass' type of clothing. It doesnt appeal to me.
I stick to adidas during sports and avoid sports clothing outside of that.

Dont complain about others wearing mma cloths. The in-your-face mma clothing is pretty pretentious anyway if you ask me.
 
Ever seen a three hundred pounder wearing a Michael Jordan jersey?
 
Who really cares what other people wear. Wear what you want and like or if its free!!! MMA is getting big, and thats a good thing. The clothing is going to be like all the other stuff Surf, Skate, MX. People will wear them for many different reasons, not all are going to be because they think they can fight. It will get trendy, like Volcom, Fox, Billiabong, DC etc.. Its just part of becoming mainstreme..
 
It has probably been mentioned... but Jesus Didn't Tap is pretty lame.
 
Let's say you're a football fan, or a baseball fan, or a basketball fan. You will go out and buy the jersey of your favorite player. You don't have to play that sport to be allowed to wear the jersey.

Some people like to wear Billabong or Quiksilver JUST BECAUSE they think the clothes are cool. They don't get beat up by people that ACTUALLY surf or skateboard for being "POSERS".

You people need to get over yourselves. The owners of Tapout and Affliction want to make lots of money and sell lots of clothes. They're doing just that so be happy for them. They can't help the fact that they make cool clothes that everyone wants to wear.

Soo...i have a question for ALL OF You since we're on this topic about poser and wanna be tough guys wearing mma clothing...

I've been seeing A LOT of fine looking women with big fake tits wearing mma clothing. I know they DON'T train but i see them in mma related shirts and tank tops... Do u also disagree with that too...and are they trying to be posers or wanna be fighters and pretend to be Gina Carano or some other female mma fighter???? Why is it topic seem to only catered to men?

In this case, no talking, go for a double leg takedown, work to North/South, and ground and pound..... that should teach'em :icon_twis

On a serious note, do you people really get worked up on what people wear? You don't HAVE to train to be a fan or like the clothing.... I have a DC skull cap/beanie that I wear and I haven't skated since I was a kid. I know a few people that are like an encyclopedia of MMA knowledge, yet, they don't train.

The question really is who's worse? The casual fan that likes the clothing and supports the sport, or the Die hard gym rat that trains 10hrs a day but wants to confront everyone "HE/SHE" sees wearing a shirt that is MMA related. (HEY!!! where do YOU train **while puffing out their chest**)
 
Meh, I can say that two affliction shirts are collecting dust in my drawer now that I refuse to wear them. Too many douches around my area rocking MMA gear thinking it will give them mystical abilities in their street fights.

Very few train, and it insults me.
 
I would be lying if I didint get a bit Irked when i saw people wearing Tapout Shirts all around me sometime last year , but i realized the sport is growing , and with that growth more people will become interested. Now some may not be intense fans , but rather ones with passing interests , and in the end I'm ok with that as I don't have any place to judge and as it has been said before , its helping out the fighters we enjoy watching so why not. They're are always going to be people that are kind of oblivious to what there wearing but will so because it looks good anyways ( remember fubu? ) so who cares?
 
Totally agree. I also found allot of douchebags wearing MMA clothing which it its self has nothing to do with MMA. (like a Crucifix and skulls and bone) Its all the same. My cousin (hence the same surname) created his own brand in my country because at that stage all we had was the same goth type stuff. I may be a little bias but I really do prefer his stuff. you guys should check it out, it might just be the different type of stuff you are looking for.

Thanks for resurrecting a three year old rant to promote your cousins company.
 
Yea but at least he was honest about it unlike some folks I could mention.
 
I view it this way, I own a Clay Matthews jersey. I'm not Clay, I'm not a Packer player... but I support them and buying that jersey shows my support. I view MMA shirts the same way.

I own the Rich Franklin Tapout shirt from his fight with Chuck, Okami's SilverStar shirt, and Wand's SilverStar shirt from the Bisping fight.

I do train but also if I can say one thing, TapouT has some shitty designs, BUT, their shirts are INCREDIBLY well constructed and last. I have some 4 year old Tapout t-shirts with pinholes in them and being slightly faded.






ANd fucking FAIL for posting in a 3 year old thread on my part.
 
Haha.....sorry about that. Ill open a new thread for my cousins stuff.
 
this is why i don't wear anything like that if I'm goonna wear mma brands I'm gonna wear the lesser known ones
