Wear your team colors

There hasn't been a rant for a long time, so I think I'm about due.
While I'm sitting at a local alcohol/sports establishment, watching my beloved Buckeyes take the field, I'm seeing more and more of the moronic fashion that is: wearing pink jerseys. And it immediately made me think of this. You know what? I'm really fed up with this. And this isn't just for Ohio State fans, this is fans of every sport, as I've seen pink Yankees hats, and other various multi colored team paraphernalia. Most importantly, in this case, this is clothing that is of a color other than the team colors.
Why, why in hell would you make green colored Yankees hats, or Indians shirts, or OSU shorts? I don't get it, I don't fucking get it. Teams have their colors, and specifically in this case, scarlet and gray are pretty damn good colors - they go with anything girls. As for any other team, they have their colors, and the whole point is that these colors signify the team, in some way shape or form. You chose the team, so whether you have a nauseating combination of maize and blue, or a vomit inducing combination of orange and purple, those are your colors. Midway through, you can't scrap that, and say, "Hey, this jersey doesn't match my pants, I think I should wear red Florida gear."
Guys, you're even less excused if that's possible, from this phenomena. Wearing green Ohio State shirts? You should be ashamed of yourselves, all of you. Not only Ohio State fans, but fans all around the world, shame on you.
I can only think of two, very weak, excuses for even making team paraphernalia with colors other than the combination of team colors. And they're in no particular order.
- St. Patrick's Day - This on slides by barely, but on this day, everything is green. So, all of you morons with your green Yankees and Red Sox shorts, hats, and thongs, you can wear them out today because everything is blasting green. However, how about, I reserve the right to punch you in your testicles (outside for men, inside for women) if you decide that September 3rd is wearing-green-team-shirt day. I'll concede one day, but I'll still give you a "the eye".
- Breast Cancer Awareness Month - Alright, I'll give you this. If you have a pink ribbon on your pink jersey, and you wear it during this month, I'll let it slip. All jokes aside, I think it's really cool when MLB uses pink bats to both raise money, and get awareness out there. So, you have, really, one viable excuse for wearing pink anything if, in fact, your team color isn't pink. But, I get to tweak your nipples if you wear them any other day. I think that's plenty fair.
If you're a guy, and your girlfriend/wife/boyfriend/sister wears something that isn't team colored, you're opening yourself to punishment. Your testicles have now become collateral damage to your horrible decision making.
Have some pride in your team, people, wear their colors.
