    Going out in public...

    So other then wearing my kilt to a famliy party the day i got the kilt, and just running to 7-11 and the likes (and have recived some very nice comments on my kilt), i have yet to go full out in public yet.......
    untill today, i am about to leave the house in kilted glory to go to the REAL SALT LAKE vs DC UNITED game were about 20,000 people will be in attendance !
    I would be lying if i said i was not a bit anxious and nervous at the same time. As i am a season ticket holder and nobody in my area i seat knew of my want to were a kilt.
    but if i could survive a famliy party ( mostly English famly, i am first gen born in the USA, but moms side has some scottish blood) then i can survive a RSL game oh this will be fun

    Enjoy! If you can't wear a kilt to an American soccer match, when can you wear it? I hope you have a good time... cheers!

    You'll do great! Just act like you've been wearing a kilt all your life. Or, pretend like you don't have one on. Well, maybe not the latter. Anyway, have a great time and don't spill beer on your tartan.
    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

    Hopefully you will be able to handle getting your photo taken with all the pretty young ladies at the game. It is an occupational hazard of wearing a kilt.

    I Agree! You might have the occasional snide remark but the congenial one's will far outweigh the negative... Happy Kilting !

    Heck, I wore a kilt when I took my daughter to see Bruno Mars. I got the occasional odd look, but a lot of women coming up to me saying "I love a man in a kilt!"

    Well done, I know how you feel, but do not worry. Walk proud and confident. You won't regret it. Have a great game.

    Chris.
