I think its cheesy, I mean yea im proud to own a vette but to wear corvette gear as to say hey i have a vette is a bit cheesy to me.. Not for nothing Vette owners are the only owners besides harley ppl that mostly always wear there brand. N some are soooo cheesy looking specially those hawaiin shirts with all generations of vettes on them

JMHO

It's actually a cool shirt, but I feel a little immature wearing it.

So my question is
Is it cheesy for a middle aged guy to wear Corvette apparel?

Hell No! I'm 54 and I dig Corvette Tee's, Sweatshirts ect.

For me a T Shirt or cap are just fine. I cringe a bit when I see the big leather jacket with the logo on the back from shoulder to shoulder...

Okay, as long as it doesn't say "Chevy runs deep" :D

I found some cool stuff from the corvette c6 collection website. It all depends on what kind of logo you have on it.

My wife says it's ok, so it must be. Trust me, she'd be the FIRST to point it out if it wasn't!

Under 30, wear anything you want.

Over 30, a cap or a shirt with a small logo only.

My two cents If all the sport fans and collage fans wear their hero shirts why is it wrong for me to wear a black jake shirt. Most people don't know what it is at 68 I could give a rats a** what they think.

I have a couple ALMS t-shirts (free from the corral at Sebring!) and a black windbreaker with a small Jake outline and Corvette Racing embroidered on it.

Clothes generally have something to do with the wearer's interests or life. I don't feel dumb wearing a Gators shirt either.

Have my Corvette Racing polo and Corvette lanyard on now..

I do think some of the things that are just plastered with logos are a bit much..

Me too. But I have the same question. For some reason I have never purchased a vette golf shirt because I feel it would make me self conscious on the golf course. I do wear, on rare occasions, a Hawaiian style shirt with vettes on it when My wife and go out for dinner. It interesting to see what others are saying.
