Chiefs Are Sports Illustrated Chiefs Jackets Cool? - Page 4

rico · 11:09 AM

Dear Chiefsplaneteers,

I need help. When it comes to dressing myself and looking cool in doing so, I struggle. I've been told the last few years that I dress nicely, but this is ONLY because my wife picks out my outfits for me.

Over the years, I've literally had to learn the hard way about apparent fashion "no-no's" by someone pointing out to me how stupid I looked by wearing certain combinations of clothing. In every single one of these instances, I had already worn that clothing combo SEVERAL times and spent the rest of the day thinking about how many people had thought I looked stupid as hell over the years for dressing that way.

Examples:

A.) I had a girlfriend in high school, who prior to leaving my house for the county fair (ugh), she INSISTED that I did not wear Doc Martin boots with shorts and that I changed into either some jeans or put some sandals on.

B.) We had a freaking exchange student from Brazil who had a better sense of our culture's fashion than I do. The first week he lived with us, he said to me, "why do you do this, wearing your socks with sandals? I think this is kind of weird." I was like, "oh, I think that's how we do it in the U.S.A." He was like, "no, it isn't." He was right.

C.) I had another girlfriend in high school who insisted that I did not wear navy blue and black together.

D.) In my first Senior year of college (I had 2 of them), we arrived at this club and one of my best friends was like, "dude I think it's the funniest thing in the world that every time you wear a black dress shirt, you also wear a brown belt and brown loafers with it." I was like, "what's wrong with that?" He was like, "dude, that is a HUGE fashion no-no. Didn't you know that?!?! I never said anything to you because you are always acting like a jackass, so I figured you were doing it to be funny. Omg Swaff, you can be so stupid." And boy did I feel stupid...I had been doing that my entire life.

Obviously, dressing cool does not come naturally to me.

So, I got this thing in the mail from SI. They had an offer that I thought was freaking awesome. A one year subscription to SI and a jacket of a team of your choice for $29. You can check out the offer and the jacket here: http://www.si.com/offer29 I generally just disregard mail like this, but I decided to go through with this one and am pretty pumped about it. I'm real pumped about the jacket, for the only Chiefs jacket I have at the moment is a 1990's Starter jacket that my grandma found at a resale shop and bought for me. I don't mind it, but my wife won't be caught dead with me if I wear it, so I never wear it...I'll probably end up donating it...to the resale shop.

Here is a pic of the jacket:

Is this jacket presentable/cool enough to wear to a game or to wear out in public at the bar while watching the game? I literally don't know, I have no fashion sense and my wife is a Steelers fan, so of course she doesn't think it looks cool. Help a fashionably challenged brotha out. Thanks.

Sincerely,

rico

Too bad your reading speed is seemingly not comparable to your physical speed! (Jk, jk, jk). For those of you who don't know, Phil is really, really fast. Seriously.

I am incapable of not being long-winded. I've tried...kind of, but have been unsuccessful. You may want to put me on ignore since it apparently annoys you so much, homie...

Wait a second....I think I just figured out the SECRET to saying bannable shit WITHOUT being banned by Phobia. Write long, ramblish posts and he won't even read it!!! (Not that I want to write bannable shit...that was just my attempt at a joke).

That jacket is Bannable shit

... That was good. From what little I know of the guy, I can imagine him posting that (if he had an SI Chiefs jacket).

Impossible. The wind drag from his giant head prevents it.

I don't like the color scheme of most Chiefs gear other than if it's a jersey or a Tshirt.

If it's casual wear I'd prefer something dark grey or black w/ something Chiefs on it. JMO.

I like some Chiefs headwear though. Hats I have a different opinion on.

KCUnited · 07-05-2013, 01:26 PM

Get the MIL to sew some acid wash denim sleeves on that badboy and make it your own customized monstrosity. That's the only way you can wear it outside, imo.

You wear black with navy blue? And with brown? That's so wrong. In China they kill people for that kind of thing.

Yeah, that's pretty much what my wife says about Chiefs apparel. Almost word for word.

Dude, I'm tellin' ya...he was a member of a track team that defeated my high school's notorious track LEGENDS. I never thought about the "head-size" factor, but that makes things even more impressive...dude must have some strong legs to carry his large cranium at the rate of speed he did.

So I've heard. I tend to be a kinesthetic learner...unfortunately, for me, that usually means "learning the hard way."

That's badass....I wish I could find that kinda Chiefs orig starter jacket. With the Zumba pants and some orange-ish black plastic framed aviators and a mullet wig....I'd seriously try to find a 1989 Camaro I could rent just to roll into some Chiefs games in that shit.

Do you ever feel life is a tuxedo and you're a pair of brown shoes?
