Chiefs Are Sports Illustrated Chiefs Jackets Cool? - Page 8

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

Muy interesante, El Duderino.

If you ever get into a jam, just remember, these are worth 40 bucks a piece on the street:

I'm kidding, of course.
You'd have to be an idiot to risk your education for a quick buck.

Can we rename this thread?

"The pussification of the American male, demontrated by a longass, boring ****ing post".

Sure. Just for you, milkman. I'll change the "****ing" to freaking though... I don't want to piss off any mods. Not to mention, the typos are atrocious...but if possible, I'll change the title to something like that.

I mean, I disagree with you labeling me a pussy and all...for I am far from one (I guess it's a matter of perspective), but you are so highly respected here, I don't want to make the entire planet butt-hurt by not honoring your wishes.

Done. Is that better, dude?

Had to use, "****ing," for "freaking" wouldn't fit.....but all in all, I feel great about this. Thanks for the suggestion, milkman!!!

Edit: I don't know why the title isn't showing up in the lounge...it shows up when you click on the link. Hmmmm...

No. I am like Rain Man (Dustin Hoffman style) when it comes to fashion sense. With an exception of wrestling t-shirts, I don't by any of my own clothes. I just...don't pay attention much to what people are wearing. I mean, I notice the shit I hate. For example, I hate "Tapout" shirts. Other than that though, I don't know shit.

When you put on clothes in the morning, do you look in the mirror to see how it looks or do you just walk out?

Good start. Anything MMA-related should be burned. Add to that anything with the gheyest logo of them all; "Fear This".

Destroy them. Immediately.
