Do it. I don't get how that would be offending considering the BBN has nothing to do with either team.

I was just going to go in swim trunks and a surfboard with a dead pig under my arm but security is too uptight.

You will always get hate if it's a high profile team , if it's a nobody then nothing will be said . If you are scary enough then you can wear whatever you want , nobody will say a thing . Follow this criteria and prosper .

I'd say acceptable protocol would be to rock a hat or shirt... but going full Big Blue might be seen as a little tacky. Although, given that's it's touney time, probably ok.

I would not in any way root for UC Irvine, they had a counsel ban the American Flag on campus. Fortunately the ban was overturned,

My go-to outfit for such an event is:
Flip flopsBicycle shortsHalter top
Yeah, it draws attention, but I don't mind. Besides, I've got the legs for it.

I don't understand, at all, why it's considered "douchey" to wear apparel that promotes your favorite team, even when they aren't playing.

Yes, I will admit, there are some strange occurrences, like that guy in Kansas City, who sat right behind home plate during every game of the World Series, donning a Florida Marlins cap. To me, that was a bit over the top, because he was sitting there every single game, and was in a great seat.

On the other hand, I got a kick out of the kid about 5 years ago, who wore a UK hat at Cameron Indoor, and he was sitting right beneath one of the baskets. Again, if he was a season ticket holder, and did that, it would be weird. But one game? Go for it.

I also actually think it's appropriate to wear your team's apparel when you attend a game where the results can impact your team. Now admittedly, this is "classier" if, say, you benefit from the home team winning, as opposed to the road team. There is no reason to pick a fight, after-all.

But in this instance. Two teams out west. Then, who cares? Go, big blue!

What do you think of a UL fan that wears his gear to a UK vs. whoever game in Rupp? That should answer the main question.

Wearing UK gear doesn't specify basketball. I've worn UK stuff to both Ohio State basketball and football games. I'm a UK fan in everything, so IDGAF.

The same thing I think when I see a UofL fan wearing his gear just about anywhere.

Ended up wearing a UK pullover and ended up being stopped by someone who used to go to Kentucky and chatted about it. Very cool. Wazzoo, may have been a bit douchey (although just wearing on zip up didn't seem bad) but it got a conversation and love of the Cats being discussed.

BBN IS EVERYWHERE!!!!
