Web Developers T-shirts
|
In the United Kingdom, several clubs have been accused of price fixing, and Manchester United were in fact fined in 2003. The high prices, and the fact that new designs are brought out each season for many clubs, mean that shirts are often the subject of satire among football fans, but many still consider it an obligation to wear them. Newcastle United and Manchester United fans for example have a famously high take-up rate on their clubs' black and white striped and red and white shirts, respectively. The prices have also led to many fans buying fake shirts which are imported into the UK from Thailand, Malaysia, and Far East Asia; many sellers on eBay now indicate that their shirt are real rather than fake.
World record
Nick Umbs of Burke, Virginia, broke the U.S. record for most T-shirts worn at one time. Nick donned 183 T-shirts between sizes small and 10XL during a six-hour session in October 2007. Nick's record-breaking stunt was recorded by the Discovery Channel for the show "Is It True?".
