Now hold on, I mean it's just strange if someone tries to "rep" a city they don't know well because they've lived in a suburb for most of their lives. This follows the idea that's been replicated for decades. To sell merchandise pertaining to not only a place, but expanding into sports memorabilia and really any kind of memorabilia for anything, in which a manufacturer/distributor/business will sell this clothing to the public, and by the publics understanding they can purchase the products advertised by the business on their own will (of course).
The thing is, however, if you ask someone (say wearing a Calgary Flames jersey) about what game is coming up with that team and who their playing against, and they have no clue and they say they don't really watch sports and just want to support the team and their city, it makes it seem quite redundant for the person to be wearing that jersey, except for "supporting their team/city".
I understand that this post and my previous post sound like childish bickering, but I just find it to be a bit annoying , and really unappealing, to see someone with the ideal of supporting something they don't really have a whole lot of knowledge or substantial care about.
(Apologies if anyone finds me to be *****ing about a stupid issue. I'm curious how Chicago will have their own way of "repping" themselves. I'd wonder if their clothing is even much different to say something touristic in New York.
