I see people wearing tapout and I think that they might train so I ask them where or if they train and 90% of the time they ask what I mean....
I mean they had shirts that say fighters only...
Ok is it just me or is this annoying? Yes I know some wear it cus they are a fan but it seems like they have a tough guy attitude as soon as they put it on. Some of them have no idea what it represents they just like the clothes.....
At one point in time it bothered me........when the UFC first hit mainstream. But I changed my perstpective. Its about the fighters, they get sponsorship from companies like tapout,hitman,affliction,etc. The better those companys do they the better off the fighters and the sport are. I see it the same as guys wearing football jerseys, they are fans, let them spend the money, its will help us all out in the long run.
Wouldn't it be great to have fighter specific clothing like jerseys in other sports? I mean we have fighters with their own lines of clothing and their own sponsorship deals and clothing releases but nothing like other sports. Probably because people wouldnt want to rock GSP's nuthuggers haha. But hey its a thought for the future.Quote:

You gotta look for the cauliflower ear, that usually accents a TapouT shirt in a good way.
Never really thought about it that way. Maybe if the dude is walking down the street wearing Sprawl shorts, rash guard and has his hands taped lol. Myself, I have a Team Quest shirt I wear. Never trained there, just got it cause it looked cool. However I do have a Pride FC shirt(just cause I'm that old school) with a big "PRIDE" logo on the front, I didn't think that one through well enough. Apparently not everyone who sees "PRIDE" thinks of MMA. I had to explain what I was representing a couple times lol.

I love tapout/affliction gear. It lets me know where the douche bags are. Now, I'm not saying everyone who wears the stuff is a DB...but chances are they probably are.
It's funny when you see these " out of shape" dudes wearing tap out shirts, those are usually just wanna be mma douche bag fans
This little known guy named Marcelo Garcia wears TapOut shirts and he's pretty kickass, right?

It says a lot about your character when you have a problem with people wearing MMA brand shirts just because they don't practice martial arts.
Just relax and worry about your own life.
I do not have a problem with the cloths anyone wears. Shit, I wear TapouT/venom/affliction/archaic/RVC and I only do bjj
ive been a bouncer for almost five years and if i see a guy with a tap out shirt im not that impressed,,,,,now if i see califlower ear,now thats the guy i keep a eye on.
Which ones more likely to play up?Quote:

It usually just gives me a laugh, kind of like the people wearing Ramones shirts and not being able to name an album from them.
When i used to bounce i would have guys swelling their chest cause they are wearing Affliction or TapouT and they would start getting their BEER Muscles and start running their mouths and i just laugh because in truth they might be taking it to an annoying level but they are meatheads and dont know any better, until they try and lay hands on me i just laugh when that line is crossed though they learn really quick that their mouths tend to write a check their a$$ cant cash...
I don't get it. Checking out their website, Tapout just seems to make women's surf apparel.
