Should Football Shirts be Allowed into Disney

We have noticed that over the 8 years we have been visiting Orlando the number of Football Shirts have increased from almost nothing to the current level. Could Orlando be turning into the new Benidorm. Will Orlando be renamed Costa Orlando and will we be eating all day fry up breakfasts and be flooded with British Pubs and Karaoke.

If this is the case will these people be staying in villas or will they be in a $29.99/night hotel room on International Drive.

I have worn my football shirts for many years now not only in this country but all over the world including several times in Florida. I am not only proud to wear it but they are as people have already said they light weight easy to wash and take up very little space in the case. You should be able to wear what you want and when you want when you are on holiday. Just because i wear my football shirt whilst i am on holiday doesnt mean that i am a football hooligan or that i am lowering the tone of the place. I have stayed in $29.99 hotels on international drive but now own my own villa in Kissimmee and still wear my soccer shirts.
As for Benidorm i was there last year on holiday with my family and i have to say that we had a great time. It has gone well up market compared to what it used to be(still one of the most visited places in Europe, nearly 5 million people stayed there last year) and we would return there again in future if the opportunity arose.

As Disney is a internationally known organisation, company, employer, contributor, brand, they could not afford to ban football shirts or any other kind of sports wear unless it was offensive.

People come form all over the world to visit Wlat Disney World and most say that is where they are going for there holidays, Florida is usually mentioned after the fact.

I personally think it is great when you see all the different shirts being worn in one place, it makes you realise just how popular WDW is, and you are THERE!! in the middle of it all!
Other holiday destinations don't have that appeal!!

Maybe this is my blinkered view of WDW

I voted no for this as I kind of like the world where people have the right to make their own choices and air their own opinions and points of view. I might not always agree with them but I can live happily with that. I think the world would be a sadder place if this were not so.

If Disney banned football shirts, the next step might be to ban any logo'd t-shirt, then maybe any form of clothing with a label or logo. I would even pose the question, is there any 'real' difference (other than personal taste and opinion) between a football shirt and a thousand dollar armani suit?

If you immediately thought 'of course, the armani suit looks smart' then consider for a moment how 'smart' an armani jacket would look on Splash Mountain. Personally I think the wearer would look like a dork; but that's juts my opinion [msnsmile][msnsmile][msnsmile]

BTW - I love the question. Makes one think a bit!

[CarolAnn]

Get both side of the argumentHonest[msnwink]But, I do cringe a bit at the 'ere we go,ere we go mentality' that is associated with the footie shirt wearing crowd[msneek][msnscared]Sorry[msnembarrased]But, I will take my DB 7 England shirt next time I go and who nows I may even wear it in the parks...and go on a water ride too[msncool][8D][msncool]

i too wear my footy shirt in orlando & tampa where i go to the soccer shop down there & have some friendly banta with them ive also worn my england shirt & that immediately start conversations off with americans who love the brits but i wouldnt wear them out @ night to a pub or restaurant

[John Rocke]

nothing wrong with a footie shirt. Passes the time in a long queue trying to guess the more obscure ones.
How people can complain about football shirts without mentioning the French Connection UK shirts and all the variations of them, beats me. They say far more about the wearer.
PS i won't wear a footie shirt because i am at the age where it looks like i've hidden the ball up the front of my shirt.

I don't wear football shirts but have no problem with others wearing them. If Disney banned them wearing shirts then I personally would not have a problem, I would simply never visit another Disney Park. What people wear is surely down to them (hate the french connetion abbreviated shirts but again that is down to the wearers personal choice.

I am not a lover of the French Connection t shirts but the person who came up with that idea must be worth a bob or two. I had never really heard much about the company before the t shirts came along.

French Connection t-shirts have been banned at many schools in England, and rightly so because they give out such a immature appearance. But why shouldn't we wear football shirts and spread the word of our club!!! They can look smart on most people, and they are indeed practical for damp situations! [8D]
