What is the etiquette for wearing team related apparel to games?
Wear your stuff to any game your team is playing in....
Theres really one way I feel about jersey wearing that wasnt mentioned in the poll. NEVER wear sports gear during that sports offseason.
I always do. All my shirts are Met shirts, save for school shirts, 3 Obama shirts, a Red Sox shirt, a Phillies shirt, a Pirates shirt (which I can't find), and a couple of concert shirts.Quote:

I should have added the option of:
Wear your stuff to a game your team isn't playing in, but your team's rival is playing in. (IE your Dave Roberts Red Sox jersey to a Yankees vs Royals game)
1) Wearing home team apparel is always appropriate.
2) Wearing away team apparel, is appropriate assuming you are a fan of the away team, and either
a) there is a legitimate sub-group of fans that will be attendance, so you will not die
b) you are not going to Yankee Stadium
3) Wearing your team's apparel to a game they are not playing in shows that you are a fan, and interested in MLB, but either do not intensely care about the two teams playing, or are simply lost.
My friend, a Phillies fan, wears his Phillies jerseys to all the Sox/Rays games we go to. It serves for comic relief; one game during the playoffs, when the phillies clinched, it was a quiet spot in the game and he was the only person in the stadium to stand up and scream "GO PHILLIES!". Gave the whole left field section quite a chuckle.
Yankees fans are animals (generalizing, I know) so I would not go into Yankee Stadium with an opposing team's apparel. Sox would get you beaten, anything else will just get objects, mostly food and drink, thrown at you.
I own more Red Sox shirts then most people, 2 Rockies ones (They are hard to find around here), and that is it.
I'm a lifelong Dodger fan and have a jersey, 2-3 Tshirts and about 5 Dodger hats. But I also have hats for about a dozen other MLB teams and 5-6 Tshirts for various teams, which I do wear on occasion. The hats I wear year round, summer or winter. You won't find any other NL West teams in my collection though.
I have a bunch of hats:
-loads of Met hats
-a Nationals hat
-a Rays hat
-a Pilots hat and some other classic hats
-a White Sox hat
-a Montgomery Biscuits hat from All Star FanFest
- a Red Sox hat
-an Angels and Dodgers hat somewhere (I bought those at the South Street Seaport in Manhattan at Lids)
-an Expos hat
-more that I can't remember probably
I have like 8-12 Red Sox Hats and 2 Rockies hats
I have:
1 Red Sox hat
2 White Sox hats that are about half the size of my head
I've looked everywhere for an Angels hat but it's not very easy to find them in Iowa..
Hmmm..I wonder if they have them at Cedar Rapids Kernels games..
I have about 5-7 Rockies hats and a T-Bones hat

I need to get more Jerseys/hats but I do have a Bichette jersey and I wore it when I was on TV (4th of July weekend of 2005)
I also have a LaCrosse Loggers hat
I need to get jerseys. I don't have any.
Man I really wanted an Angels Teixeira jersey..but now he's on the Yankees..yuck
I have more than most people combined. The majority of my baseball stuff is in storage in northern Minnesota, just because I have so much that I don't have room for down here, or have a desire to have down here since I don't enjoy baseball as much as I used to. I'm going to put a list together of all the jerseys that I have.

I have a Latrell Sprewell GS jersey (got it for 5 bucks after the Carlismo incedent!)
I have a Red Sox, Biscuits, Thrashers, seven different Tampa Bay Bucs Hats.
I wear my Sox Jersey to games, I only go to Atl games being thats were I live), but will wear my Hockey jerseys as a sweater wherever.
I have a very small amount of jerseys:
My favorite is a Kirk Gibson Dodgers jersey, that I used to wear to every Tigers game I attended. Now, I have a non-descript alternate style Tigers jersey, that I usually wear to games.
I have a Charles Rogers Lions jersey that I wear to Lions games to be ironic. Got it for 10 bucks off clearance after he got cut.
Lastly, I have a Tim Duncan jersey that my friend gave to me. He went to China and got it bootlegged off a street vendor for like 5 bucks American.
I wear my Dodger cap to Cubs and White Sox games, and I've never even seen the Dodgers play either team. I don't see why that would be a problem with anyone.
