Title: Affliction clothing
Post by: JasonH on December 08, 2007, 12:55:11 PM

Okay, so I was watching the Hatton-Mayweather weigh-in last night on Sky and I couldn't help but notice that Hatton was wearing an Affliction t-shirt.

I keep hearing people rag on about Tapout clothing here and I was wondering - is this just as embarrassing to wear in public or is Affliction clothing actually good? I did a bit of research on it and it is endorsed by Randy Couture amongst others

What is the Getbig view on Affliction?

LiftStudios is our resident Affliction expert. 

He has an entire wing of his closet dedicated to his extensive Affliction collection.

What if it's a 'throwback'?  Doubly gay or less gay?

Affliction just started producing fight clothing this year when they signed deals with a bunch of fighters. They've been making t-shirts for a while now that had nothing to do with clothing. Lot of celebrities wear their stuff. 50+ dollars for a t-shirt is a little overpriced but they do have some interesting designs.

You're a fag regardless so wear what you want. Beast that rolling thunder, BEAST IT!!!!!!!!!

hahaha, I wouldn't wipe my ass with that South Pole jersey he has on in that pic, let alone wear it.

You should buy some Affliction clothing. Hopefully any upstanding white person knocks it right off you.  :D

hahaha, who the hell wears Sprawls outside of training? Only dorks and people that don't actually train. Cracks me up when these retards on the other MMA forums make quips like "I wear my Sprawls out to the club they're so comfortable." Only thing gayer than that was BigJ claiming to shoulder press 315 at a bodyweight of 110.  ::)

Affliction makes some great shirts, great fit and awesome materials... really nice higher end shirts.. not crappy t-shirts like tap out!


and nice designs as well, though I stay away from the ones with the fighter names on them.

Riiiiigh...especially since they have absolutely nothing to do with cage fighting..!? a few of them feature a fighter name on the back, that's about it, most of them don't.

if i wear any kind of fight oriented gear outside of training its b/c im dressing comfortably like goin to walmart or something, and i only wear stuff not recognized by the tuff nube crowd....... i.e. ill rock a vitamins and minerals t shirts or my guerilla grappling gear etc... that way if someone really does train then they come up and strike a conversation and i dont get the usual tapout meatheads coming over talkin trash........ i also cant wear full contact fighter anymore to work..... to many guys saying there where golden gloves champions to me lol

SO THEY DO HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH CAGE FIGHTING.

Affliction's been around for almost 10 years now. They just started sponsoring fighters THIS year. They had nothing to do with the sport for the other years. The designs are pretty cool but I wouldn't wear them on the basis that most hollywood celebrities have already beaten the styles to death. Look like a sheep in one.

they have some cool clothing and designs, but unfortunately like everything else it got trendy and played out. But nothing tops the TAPOUT edition toyota tundra. honestly who would buy that thing?

Not to sure about that.  This year they will do over $50 million is total sales worldwide.  Not bad for a one or two color design

i love support of the mma movement.... i kinda hate mainstream but its bound to happen as the sport  evolves

i really hate the wannabee's

i.e. an old friend of mine that i saw the other day with a GIANT tapout sticker on his back window of his ford expedition, and the GIANT tapout tattoo on the back of his bald head (not lying) checked his myspace page and sure enough claimed to b trainnin mma for years.... at teh same place i train hahahah where i never see him....... sent him a message, he changed his page and claimed to train at another place here..... where i have never seen him..... ugh
