Most of the kids at my school that wear anything related to gaming like a Halo hoodie or a Left 4 Dead t-shirt get talked down on. Most of them are kind of weird or no one really knows them so that doesn't help the image. I don't care for it but I would never wear anything game related like a Mass Effect hoodie or anything at all.
The only exception to gaming related clothes I would wear is a plain black t shirt with a Gears of War omen on it. Not because I like the game but because I like how it looks it seems to be my style and since my friends aren't hardcore gamers and the only game big in between them is Gears of War they would think it's pretty cool / not care.
Honestly I know most people don't care what other people think of them so I understand if I was into game clothing I wouldn't care about people laughing behind my back as long as I was happy.
So what do you think?
Is it begging to be laughed at?
Is it just something no one would care about?
Is it something people give compliments on?

I wear Halo clothing quite often. I even have a pair of ODST and UNSC dogtags.

For me, I've never wear any gaming clothing since the shipping is expensive but if I eventually wear it, I prefer it to be subtle not something that says "LAWL I PLEYH TEH VIDJOGAEMZ" Well maybe I'll wear the Shepard hoodie (as soon as my uncle get back here) in a geek convention or something [Edited on 04.09.2012 12:42 AM PDT]

People should just wear what they want to wear, I honestly couldn't care less what people would think of me if I wore something video game related.
-
My Bungie apparel makes me cool with the ladies.
-
American Eagle? Haha we have a sheeple over here. I would prefer growing up as an above average gamer, then a regular moron who buys overpriced brand clothing and is a parent by the age of 16.

I would love to buy more gaming clothes In fact this thread inspired me to go buy some when I get my pay.

Wore a Reach shirt to school. Got looks. [i]Bad[/i] looks. So I was like, "-blam!-, one-vee-one me."

If you wear the kind of game clothing that could be interchangeable with a collage of a pack of wolves then I don't like it. If, however, it's actually cool, like MOST of the clothes on the Bungie store, then sure, knock yourself out. EDIT: Also, some of the Minecraft merch is pretty cool [Edited on 04.08.2012 11:45 PM PDT]

Wear whatever the -blam!- you want. Clothes are clothes. If ever got a shirt from Metal Arms: Glitch in the System or Star Wars Battlefront, I'd wear that -blam!- all the time.
-
Meh....
-
When I do wear tee shirts, I tend to avoid large, obnoxious graphics, because they draw attention away from the face, but smaller, less noticeable graphics are perfectly fine. And as for the sports/band tee argument, those shouldn't really be worn except at a game(or on game day/ around the TV for games) or concert.
-
If it's comfortable and doesn't look terrible, I'll wear it. I don't get this obsession with looking like everyone else, or even trying to stand out. I'm me, I dress like me.
-
I wear metal bands shirt all the time,but i don't wear anything "gaming" related,though i do have a necklace related to one of the best book series of all time(The hunger games) and a shirt. Though i have a CoD 2/CoD Blops Developer T Shirt.
-
I would wear an N7 hoodie and public.
-
[url=http://www.etsy.com/listing/63606394/assassins-creeddesmond-miles-hoodie] I would wear this [/url]
-
if its kinda cool, it ok with it. if its simply "CALL OF DUTY!" or "HALO" plastered onto the back. i simply laugh and ask myself why anyone would buy that.
-
It's usually a way to advertise that you like something. Nothing wrong with that, in my opinion.
-
I own a Dead Space tshirt. Its full black but has the low red health bar on the back like in read space. Only people that played dead space know its a game tshirt. You gotta get stuff like that.
-
Retro stuff is the best. I have an old Metal Gear shirt.
-
I support it.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] almity spartan I wish i had more "game" clothing, if you like something show pride in it. Its like if people like a band they'll wear that bands shirt, same with shows or movies why not games?[/quote] Listen to this man, for he speaks wisdom.

All I ever really wear is American Eagle.[/quote] That's why being an adult is great. Nobody really gives a -blam!-. Admittedly, I had the same outlook on clothing when I was in high school (and the same style as you, too). Currently I only have five gaming shirts: BE A HERO (Haiti Charity ODST Shirt), Castle Crashers, PAX 2011, Burn Bright Burn Blue, and an HFCS shirt. I normally wear nice button down shirts or polos when I go out to bars or parties but nothing like the American Eagle, Aeropostale, and Hollister shirts that make you look like a walking billboard, like I did when I was in high school and parts of college. If there are any logos on the clothing I wear, they are barely visible. Unless it's a college shirt but that has more to do with pride than being showy for the sake of being showy. Just hanging around the house, going to a buddy's house? I'll throw on a t-shirt and my gaming shirts are in the mix. e: That said, I respect those who wear gaming shirts and sport their hobbies proudly because they're a hell of a lot more secure with themselves than I was when I was in high school, which is a much more admirable trait than buying some crappy overpriced gaudy clothes - and that isn't a knock on expensive clothing; it's a knock on overpriced clothing. There's a difference. [Edited on 04.08.2012 9:48 PM PDT]
