Holidaying in Florida. I think European soccer shirts have become compulsory. I saw 3 people (seperate) in Grimsby Town shirts in one day. Grimsby Town. Funso Banjo fucked around with this message at 12:12 on Aug 24, 2009 |

In Key West a couple of years back I saw a guy in a Real Madrid shirt and another in an AC Milan one. Both were English.

Wore a Hull City shirt to the Camp Nou and got enthusiastically shouted at by a man and woman passing by on bikes with Hull accents saying "We're 'ull city fans too!" That was weird.

real_scud posted:Did you do it in Orlando because if so it doesn't count since British people loving love Orlando. So most of those were probably Brits visiting the states. 90% of English people who have ever been to America went to Florida and Florida only. The other 10% went to New York. When I went to the US last year whenever anyone at work asked where I went on my holiday and I said "America" pretty much all of them went "oh, Florida?". Most English people have no concept of going anywhere on holiday that isn't a beach or a theme park. Florida has both!

I live in Orlando and work at a miniature golf course about fifteen minutes up the road from Disney. About 2/3 of our customers are English, and quite a few of them do wear jerseys out and about. Also an unholy number of them are from Birmingham, and down to the last man, every single one of those have been West Brom fans. I haven't met another Aston Villa supporter the whole time I've been working there.

I'd say classy but other than Florida I've been to Colorado, Georgia and both Carolinas  Actually I really liked North Carolina, we were around Hendersonville if anyone knows it. quote:I know, and while sometimes it's interesting because of the jerseys you see on people, I don't get it. I mean yeah we have Disney here, and there are beaches, both of which are hard to come by in England, but if I was a Brit I'd want to say visit the Rockies, or the Grand Canyon, any place that has geography that you'll never ever see in Britain in a million years.

I've always washed it inside out and line dried it. Should probably have washed it on gentle though.

City have to be the only club on the loving planet with "purely decorative" stars above their crest. Seriously, just drop them and then stick them there when you win a few Champions League titles, they're probably all going to come in the next decade anyway. Possibly.

Since this has turned into shirt care discussion, I have a question myself. I have an authentic Adidas Formotion shirt that I took with me on a trip recently. When I unpacked, it ended up with fine wrinkles all over it. I threw it in the wash (cold water) and hung it to dry, but those wrinkles were still there when it dried. I repeated this process twice to no avail. I've tried tricks I've read, such as hanging it in the bathroom while showering, hanging it to dry upside down, etc., and none work. I'm not very good with an iron and don't want to ruin the shirt. Have any of you had this problem before?

Usually I seperate my jerseys by colours and whites, but recently I bought a yellow Vancouver 86'ers away kit, and I am now confused. Should I wash it with my whites and risk dye leak or wash it with my colours (mostly black and blue, sometimes red) and risk dye fade?

If this wasn't on a college campus that might make more sense. if they had to pay that much tuition, do you think that kind of explains why they might be broke? Something tells me there might be a reason you call people at colleges and universities "starving students"
