I intend to sport the colors at least one day in Scotland this summer. Makes the bonnie lasses wet.

Seriously, when I saw a guy in London a couple years ago wearing Bama gear, I thought "what a douche." But is it different because it's me?

He was a douche bc hes a Bama fan. Not because he was wearing a Bama shirt.

I don’t see the appeal of wearing sports clothes in general. I see foreigners wearing soccer shirts all the time so I’d think it’s no less douche than that and who knows could spark a conversation with someone.

I wore an LSU hat but because I only own one hat.

No more douchey than any other logo of a team you like. You'd be surprised how many LSU fans there are overseas.

I met chickens parents in Italy because I was wearing my LSU polo on game day.

It's different because Bama is the embodiment of all that is evil in this world.

Wear those colors proud, brother man.

Was Europe last summer. While walking through Paris saw a squad of Auburn and Tigahs walking in camo hoodies. That is douche material. Repping a coaching polo isn’t douche.

WTF... there's nothing wrong at all with representing your school overseas.

I wore LSU stuff in Sydney all of the time. It was a conversation starter with the locals sometimes.. Other times visiting Americans would say hello. Once an LSU student visiting spotted me and we talked for a bit. Never had an issue. Just a t-shirt. Sometimes a hat.

You can meet some great folks wearing college gear. Anytime I’m away from LA wearing something LSU someone will give me a GEAUX TIGERS. Heck, I was at The Masters a few years ago and a marshall motioned me over and gave me GEAUX TIGERS ! He was a graduate and lived in Georgia.

I did it all through SE Asia, middle east, and russia.

Other than some Mississippi state fan who called me crawfish for three days, it was fun.

Only trouble I had was every airport swore I had more than 10k on me and searched.

Just a hat in appropriate places or a shirt sometimes is fine.

The fckers in Orange Beach with the LSU ice chest, tent, crocs, koozies, shirt, and shorts are annoying as all hell.

I rock head to toe Nicholls State gear whenever I'm in Asia.

The world needs to know.

90% chance those folks didn't go to LSU. I stopped wearing LSU gear on non-game days because I didn't graduate from there and just felt weird.
