What's up with so many fans wearing PJ shirts to the shows?

what i'll wear to my next PJ show.

[Comatose Pilate]

I thought the unwritten rule(not that i follow any rules, I wear what I want) was: you can wear a Pearl Jam(or any band) Tshirt to a show as long as its not from that particular tour/year. I love seeing all the old and rare shirts at the shows. Anyways, PJ fans rule no matter what!!!

Really are you a bigger nerd for wearing a Pearl Jam shirt to a show or are you a bigger nerd for following some unwritten rule about what is cool to wear. At 39, I wear whatever I feel like.

all dead-ies wore dead shirts to dead shows, so why not... even though i choose to wear a nofx shirt most of the time

I've actually never worn a PJ shirt to a show before--- until reading through this thread. Now, more than ever, I wanna wear their shirt to a show

I've always thought that it is uncool to wear a band's shirt to that show. I don't think that there is anything terribly wrong with it, or that people shouldn't do it - just that it's uncool.

Some people said that Eddie wore a shirt at a show - that's uncool too (keep in mind that he also wears white pants). Do what you like if it's not hurting anyone - squeeze into a pearl jam onesie if you want to. I just think that it is uncool.

For anyone who thinks that talking about being cool/uncool is superficial - you're probably right, but coolness has always been a part of rock and roll. I think that fashion has a lot to do with being subtle, and wearing a band's shirt to their show is anything but.

Just my thoughts on the matter.

Ps. some people have mentioned flannel shirts being out dated - from what I've been seeing these days, they're everywhere & are a pretty big trend right now

[Child Of The 90s]

I did see a guy at a Pearl Jam show wearing a Nickleback shirt this summer - that was definitely uncool.

[PJINFLA]

Anyone out there have a Drop In The Park t? That's an interesting shirt to wear.

Yes! Definitely get some stange looks when I wear my Drop In The Park shirt.

[stardust1976]

People should be more like me...wear whatever they want, to where ever they want....and then they would all be cool like me!!! Oh, wait, that would make me uncool cause then I would be wearing what everyone else was wearing......so scrap that idea! Seriously people - like so many other people have mentioned on here, who gives a toss what the hell you wear?! Wear what ever the bloody hell you feel like, and don't give a shit.......so long as you don't turn up naked, I really doubt anyone is going to think you are 'cool' or uncool'......at 33, I long since stopped worrying about THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think this is a non-issue for many Pearl Jam fans. I might have seen that Piven movie before, but for the life of me, I don't think I've ever heard that rule. Lots of people at the Gibson in LA were "that guy," apparently (yours truly included).

I'd hate to be part of a clique/group of friends where the "alpha" declares this non-issue to be any sort of rule. (I'd hate to be in a clique where everyone follows whatever an "alpha" character says!) Like so many other posters have said, I'm not going to obsess about what other people wear to a show, and I'm a bit too old to care what others might think of what I wear. If they wear a PJ shirt to a PJ show, that might actually break the ice in starting a conversation...who knows?

Cheers!
