    Kilt Attire - Football Jersey

    Sorry to keep beating y'all down with my questions but I'm a novice to kilt wearing.

    At many highland games and Scottish fests I've been to in Texas, Colorado and North Carolina, I've noticed what I perceive to be a casual look whereas the person is wearing a kilt, a kilt belt, some kind of T-shirt and sandals or tennis shoes.

    The T-shirt is usually somewhat non-descriptive and doesn't necessary relate to any Scottish symbolism.

    Would wearing a football jersey instead of a T-shirt with the casual kilt attire be out of line?

    You should be fine as long as it's not a Cowboy's jersey

    A) no worries about too many questions, we were (or still are) noobs once.

    B) Real jerseys are pretty huge, you might find a jersey cut too big for kilt wear. A team logo polo or rugby shirt might be a better fit... although your mileage may vary

    As long as it isn't the Redwings you're golden. But I agree that a jersey might look pretty sloppy with a kilt...on the other hand some people maybe able to pull it off.

    If you look in the photo galleries of a lot of kiltmakers you'll find pics of guys in football jersey's and kilts.

    I've done it. Many of our customers have done it. Guys in the UK wear Soccer / Football or Rugby jerseys with it. Some people buy a tartan specifically to match with their jersey.

    Here's an example of a model on our site wearing his kilt and a flyers jersey for our photo shoot:

    I remember a thread sometime ago that the kilt police said the only jersey allowed to be worn with the kilt was a Redskins Jersey. I could be wrong, (I have been told that I am wrong more often than not) but that's what I thought I read.
