I've met nice guys who actively participate in the sport and who wear some of that stuff, but a lot of the time it's sported by some pretty dull headed duders.
I chose C. I personally don't understand why anyone would walk around as a walking advertisement for some apparel company. If it's small logos on a jersey or hat, you really do not have a choice in the matter, but wearing apparel with the company logo emblazoned on it is silly to me. I've always wanted a Chelsea jersey, but to date I refuse to get one due to a giant bloody SAMSUNG logo emblazoned on the front.
" bad as in pro mma fighter bad or bad as in douchebag bad? because you've got both. "
For this topic I say douchebag bad. The reason I just made this topic randomly was I watched an interview with the bully from that video with the kid being bullied and defending himself by throwing the bully to the ground. The bully and the friend being interviewed were wearing tapout shirts...
@waitwhat: Yeah if it ain't Everlast (which is quite classy) they come off as either a wannabe or a complete douche. Oh and eh what's up with your avatar is that Flanders?Sorry just wanted to know...
There was a time when my basic fighting ability and natural athleticism made me superhuman compared to a majority of people. Now that everyone's into MMA and works out I have to be more careful about who I start shit with because they probably took some gay ground fighting class and are probably stronger than me. When everybody is super, nobody is super. I don't approve.
If you aren't a MMA Fighter then to wear one makes you a douche bag. Here is where it gets tricky because even if you are an MMA Fighter there is a 75% chance you are a douche bag.
" it's a shirt, if you judge somebody based on their shirt, you are the bad person. "
I dunno if you see somebody wearing an ed hardy t-shirt you can usually learn all you need to know about them from the shirt. Not everyone who wears a tap out shirt is a bad person but enough bad people wore them to get the shirts banned from most clubs in Vancouver BC.

I don't think I fully understand what a tapout shirt is, but I do think that people who base their opinions of other people on the shirts they wear are bad people.
@example1013: Well that's not the same thing, sponsors are on a uniform because they paid that team. The players don't stick on logos because they think it's cool, they do it because they want their team exist.
So that does nothing to explain why an individual would pay to be a walking advert.
@Wes: I was throwing in an anecdote, because on football jerseys the primary sponsor's name is actually where we Americans put most of our team names (and is just as big).
I think anyone who wears a shirt is a bad person. That includes people who bought the Lincoln Force T-Shirt or the Whiskey Media Member T-shirt. Real men just tattoo that stuff on their chest instead.
There was this one really tight Tekken 6 Tapout shirt. I don't get why people who wear those are bad people, I think some of those shirts have some pretty btichin' designs. I'd wear whatever I think looks nice.
Although it depends on if you mean the people who wear the cool ones because the shirts are nice, or the douche asshole posers. Posers suck.
" it's a shirt, if you judge somebody based on their shirt, you are the bad person. "
This. Yeah, I have a Tapout shirt, and yeah, I like MMA, and considering those guys were sponsoring fighters since forever, I'll wear it and respect that they help pay the people that fight for my entertainment.
I also have a Whiskey Media shirt, and I like Whiskey Media. Does wearing the Whiskey Media shirt make me a douche? If you're going to judge me based on the clothes I wear, thanks for alerting me that I don't give a SHIT about your opinion.
yes, they are bad people. i make fun of my friend for wearing tapout shirt and hat. "i say o you have your tapout shirt on whats your super saiyan level now? is it over 9000 yet." he doesn't do or watch any kind of MMA or into martial arts of any kind. i think most of the people that wear those just watch UFC.
Tapout shirts are just tacky at this point, we are still free to make comments about the shirts without discussing the person wearing them, right?
Though I will say wannabe-toughguy douchebags who just-so-happen to be wearing TapOut shirts are the worst. Usually they can't fight worth a shit either and would completely fall apart in a real fight.
