It's the wannabe motocross crowd that is to blame. I see tons of people who have Fox stuff. I'm willing to bet that maybe 5% of them have ever even ridden a motorcycle.

They have a Tapout store in the mall here, and I usually avoid it. The entire mall, that is.
The funny thing is seeing the kid who was into girl pants walking around in a Tapout shirt and those long shorts.

Mammogram is down but I'm working manually
Volcom and Hurley, really? So then Quiksilver, DC Shoes, DVS, Matix, Vans, Osiris, Etnies and every other surfing/skating brand in your mind are on the same plane of douchebaggery existence as Tapout?
Sir I strongly disagree. I just don't picture a guy (ummmm, me) in flip flops and a DVS shirt (supporting my friends' company) at happy hour on the same level as mall rats branding MMA-egos, sagging shorts and sideways hats.
Please forgive my small-town geezerness, but what is a Tapout shirt, and what is their significance in society?

Google is your friend.
Awww, come on! Humor me! What's a Tapout shirt?
It's a brand , associated with MMA. That you often find the biggest douche bags on the planet wearing.
I'm a huge MMA fan, but wouldn't be found dead in one of those. Sad to say but MMA attracts douches like a magnet, it's usually the drunk idiots that boo during a ground fight.

I hear this guy named google has the answers you seek.
I would never wear those clothes (Affliction/Ed Hardy). Reminds me of all the bars in Miami Beach where I would never go. There are plenty of alternative, loungey, musician type hangouts, which i would prefer.
But hey, there are people that don't like Quicksilver/Volcom, as I just learned! Maybe people don't like my clothes! Well everyone's gotta wear something...

Beware. The emos have mastered irony.
Ever? Like, all the time? I love a good suit and respect those who make an effort to look dignified rather than trendy, but surely that's impractical? What if you're at the beach, or working on a car?
To keep it simpler. I could just go to Target or Wal-mart and buy plain T-shirts, then I'd be neutral. As long as people don't accuse me of wearing a "wife-beater"
my tapout shirt says the heavy metal awards show on the front, so i wear a flannel or a hoodie to cover up the tapout log on the back
