Then everyone looks the same and look slike a bunch of robots. That isn't true to the roots of paintball.

I wear what works best. Sure, it might look good too, but if it doesn't get a bounce, screw that.

im talking about things that have no association with and no function in paintball

So are you talking about headbands?

Headbands are the ****.

**DaBluedevil** · August 13th, 05:02 PM

That, and you can support sponsors with 'em usually. I know on one of my old teams we had to rock 4 visibile by cameras plugs for sponsors at all times, on and off the fields, at tournies. Headband, stickers on hoppers/tanks/guns/barrels/pods, jerseys, and pants worked.

Skating isn't, never was, and never will be a fashion statement. Skater isn't a look someone can have. You don't have to be decked out in skate company clothing to be a skater.

Headbands have three main functions

Keep hair out of your eyes
Keep sweat out of your goggles (stopping fogging)
and of course bounces.

I use my tailfeather between games when I want to wipe off hits without getting my gloves all greasy, and to not have to go back to the staging area every other game.

exactly, i dont care how you dress. if you dont have the skill to beat the kid wearing camo pants and shooting an A-5 w/ a Flatline at a speedball game(me) then that just makes u look stupid, this happens alot.

Saying that every paintballer should have to dress the same according to certian regulations has to be the stupidest thing I've seen posted on this forum since some bozo was running around.

**bunkertime** · August 13th, 06:16 PM

NYY, did someone make fun of ur style or something? cause u seem to hold a grudge. why do you care waht other people wear bro? thats like preps laughing at goths and vise versa... it's how the world is. deal w/ it

***NYY*** · August 13th, 06:32 PM

no this is one of the many reasons im quitting paintball
its not about the game anymore, its about what image you can build

No it's not. Ever think your opinion could be wrong?

**BAURblades** · August 13th, 06:44 PM

i wear my baseball cleats, i think they work best because they have skinny spikes, mor pressure on one point, exactly the point of cleats....

i like the fashion... i like looking good when i shoot people.

**chromekilla** · August 13th, 06:47 PM

It's annoying how retarded some of these kids excuses for quiting can be.

Go out there and play some ball, who gives a **** if other people care about their image.

Notice it's thier OWN image they care about, not yours. Buck up and stop whining.

**mynameisgeorgel** · August 13th, 06:50 PM

first off, i think jerseys make you look like a dick when you wear them to practice or just to play. A jersey in a tournament is ok, but why waste money on one if you don't play touneys. I personally think looking good is part of the game. intimidation helps a lot of teams win.

u contradict yourself.

jerseys dont intimidate you? jerseys look good.... sure u dont need them, but who cares? i take it u mean like big name jerseys JT, dye, empire, etc.... but what about long sleeve t shirts... that can be a jersey for a team too....

whatever.
