What to wear?

[Joff]

As I'm about to buy my own marker and I've already got my own mask, I probably shouldn't be renting site camo's.

In which case, what should I be wearing?? I don't want to go out an get a JT/Dye/SmartParts Jersey only to find I become the target of the day because I violate team colours or something

Can anyone suggest a cheap alternative? If it helps, darker "recball-style" colours (read Camo) would possibly be more suitable.

There aren't really any hard & fast rules for what jerseys to wear, though camo pattern is becoming a no-no especially at tournaments & I don't think anyone makes them any more. If teams are the kind to want to wear unique stuff, they tend to get their own printed specially or at least have the team and/or their own name printed on them. If you buy any standard jersey from a major manufacturer (including but not limited to those you list) then you shouldn't have any problems at all.

Great, thanks. I had kinda got that impression re. camo-print (sooo last year darling!), but that's why I'm in the newbie forum!

I just wear a nike jumper and trousers. I use my old trainers and wear my old nikÔ cap on my Q¨.'$ñfõÏÕcK»xåp6Í684I))Ö+.npIêd

lol, well that's virtually what I wear at the moment!

An old Fruit of the Loom sweatshirt which was great for bounces, but then I "grew into it"... a cap reversed and some clumpy combat boots.

Bubble Wrap?

Doesn't wearing extra layers to get more bounces count as cheating? It's certainly not playing in the spirit of the game is it? shame on you

Not sure if that was aimed at me or not, but without the sweatshirt I would be playing nekkid, well top half at least... no thanks
