who gets comments about their kite shirts?

I almost always wear a kite related Tshirt when I am not working. IBB, NABX, SOBB, Peter Lynn, Big Kid or ECKS etc.. ( amazing how most of them last ) Nobody ever seems to ask or comment on what the shirts are all about.

The most common comment I have heard is " are you Peter Lynn? "

Do the rest of you find that the shirts are pretty much ignored?

I get comments when it has a buggy on it. The 2015 shirts are going to make for great conversation. :cool:

My black Toxic T-shirt seems to get a lot of inquiries but mainly from kiters.

I get nothing around here. I wear shirts and hats related to kite sports. Even the windows on my truck are adorned with Peter Lynn/Ozone stickers. I think only once I was asked who Peter Lynn was, lol. I think most people in my state are just not aware that such a sport exists. I think aside from the occasional TV shot of kite surfing, exposure here is nonexistent so I can't blame anyone for not knowing. People who are my friends know I kite, any others that meet me typically are not interested in asking what it is I'm wearing. I think most are just too busy with their own lives to be interested in someone else's.

Sadly I seldom get questions about my kite fest, buggy fest, or kite product shirts. But I often get asked about me beard related shirts. Maybe it's a furry thing.

Having a buggy on your shirt rules out the majority of other kiters ( read kitesurfers ) in Vancouver talking to you. :smug:

We are NOT considered the " cool kids " in this town. :alien:

I get comments on my Dakitez, PL, and JIBE shirts pretty regularly but the one that stands out is one I got on a Flexifoil shirt.

I was asked if it was a new type of aluminum foil that did not tear :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

I wear several kite related Tshirts and have never had any comments. Come to think of it most of my Tshirts have some theme and the only one that gets comments is the one the says "If things improve with age, then I must be pretty near perfect" ;)

The only comments I ever get when I wear a kite shirt is from friends that know I kite. Never strangers. Although, I frequently get stopped to compliment my beard.

I made a shirt with my NAPKA number on it for JIBE,... A couple of coworkers asked about it, but no one seems to ask about the JIBE t-shirts...

Maybe since everyone wears t-shirts, they have become a benign means of advertising :no:
