overdone on corvette apparel...
I am all for nice shirts and all that but maybe im the only one that thinks its noticeable when someone goes overboard. I have a friend that never knew anything about the cars and got his first one. good for him by the way. he went to the plant and came back all out.
jacket
hat
watch
bad
glasses
wallet
gloves
cups
and many more.
even got all matching for the family.
now im not knocking him by all means, just seems very loud. anyone else see it or am I just looking into it too much??

Not for me, but it's really no different than adults getting all dressed up in their favorite sports gear to cheer on their favorite team.
And no I'm not talking about a single hat or jersey. I'm talking about dressing up like your on the team.

It's the same with most any hobby. Some guys/gals take it to the max.
As long as he's happy and not hurting anyone it fine!
I do try to limit myself to one Corvette accessory at a time though.

I'm probably guilty of something similar but not to that extreme. Usually when i do go out to meets or shows i wear corvette shirts with a corvette hat. Sometimes even dress to match with the car

I didn't have any money for logo'd apparel when I got my first Vette . . . I did take a bunch of crap in my academy class though for driving one - - -but I still pick up tee shirts at shows to wear around the house - - and a coffee mug from the grandkids last Christmas- can't get enough of that kinda stuff from the kiddie pops.

Nothing wrong with the guy getting really excited about this new car - over time I'd bet he'll settle in and just have a few things that are car related.

It's not as bad as some Harley guys I see and I have a Harley but don't go overboard with it. I have several C5 t-shirts, 1 casual various 'Corvettes' shirt and a couple of C5 denim 'dress' shirts - plus 3 or 4 caps and a coffee mug.

Do one thing.Do it til you run it in the ground and get sick of it.
Move on to the next thing.
Some lucky scrounger will be finding some excellent bargains at his next yard sale, I'm guessing.
