Yo Vetzky...

Nah. Not at all really. In fact, if your family is from the North, it's not a problem at all. Besides, you can wear whatever you darned well please over here!

I just wouldn't wear the Black Watch at a St. Patrick's parade, an AOH meeting, or in the Irish Republic. Maybe I should add a few Pubs in Boston and Philadelphia to that list too!
