Corey Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 (edited) So this is quite random as Im trying to keep from freaking out over this football game, but I do have a question about match appropriate attire. I think this is the best place to put thi.... I have a colorful hawaiian shirt (see pic to the left or below), but it has a Miller Lite logo on it. As much as I am against drinking and shooting together, would it be inappropriate to wear such a shirt to a match??? What do you think? I personally like the way it looks as well as it is VERY comfortable in warmer weather. Edited January 25, 2010 by Corey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve J Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Not a problem. Every watched NASCAR? See if you can arrange for some sponsorship money. The name and their money doesn't equal drinking and driving or drinking and shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Why not? How is that different they wearing a John Deere cap, its not like we endorse driving a tractor and shooting at the same time and both are tractors and beer are legal last I checked.

Jman Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Well, all I can say Corey, is that in all the years and matches I've shot, I seriously can not remember a shirt like yours "out there". I personally could give a rats butt what a guys shirts says . But yeah you'll see that shirt at the track, at the match, not so much. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Ho Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I'm gonna have to disagree with the last two. I think this is a horrible thing to wear to a match. Miller lite tastes like watered down piss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WDB Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Local match sure. A bigger match that may receive some coverage I would say no. Reason being all the uneducated anti's out there would have a hay day with it. Not trying to start a politcial debate or anything, that's just my reason.

bbbean Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 (edited) A local distributor sponsors a loosely organized team known as "The Good Time Gang". Here's a picture of several members of the Good Time Gang shooting at the TN sectional in 2008: Edited January 25, 2010 by bbbean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Mainus Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Wear the shirt. When we have the WI sectional up in LaCrosse, one of the local breweries is always a match sponsor. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarge Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Very,slight drift. I have read/heard that camo gear etc is in poor taste as well due to linking the sport to para military. Is this written, or an otherwise official stand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you may think because its guns people may think people are drinking and shooting but that isn't the case. If it were then everyone would think all the Nascar guys are driving drunk Its an accepted fact that beer companies support sporting events. As for local matches we have had major matches sponsored by Beer Companies. Area 5 was sponsored 2 yrs in Wisc. when it was there and we had media coverage there. After the last shot is fired for the day and it was verified it was free beer It was a good time. Everyone was talking and relaxing without any problems.

Corey Posted January 25, 2010 Author Share Posted January 25, 2010 This may have to come out for at least semi-local stuff. prolly wear it to nationals or anything that big (gotta be good enough to go to those first anyway, haha) Anyone in moderate matches in IN be on the lookout for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
