Its England.  Not Iran, Syria or Afghanistan.  Last time I looked the US Navy were on the same side as the British  [thumbsup]

Wear whatever the hell you like, as if they'd give a shit how another Yank tourist is dressed.  Wont even get a second glance.






Care to make it interesting? 

I've got a $20 in my pocket that days he will get negative attention for wearing either a Navy or Argentina shirt. 

Joel, wear the shirt every day so that I can win this bet!

Wear a Canadian Navy shirt, that'll really confuse them. ;D

I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

My thought is that as a "guest" in another country one should be gracious.  Having said that, I have no idea if wearing it would be seen as an "in your face" act or neutral or whatever.

If you want to wear it, go for it.  If it were me, I would cease wearing it if it came off as being a problem.

Also, I've never been to England, but from what I understand some parts of London are full of very radicalized Muslims.  I don't think I would hang out there, regardless of what I chose to wear.

THe problem with England is the large Pakistani and british-born muslim population.

I don't think the English people would mind but I personally wouldn't draw that kind of attention to myself in a place that I am not familiar with. Plus the international flights issue.

Just for the shirt?? I'd be delighted to take your bet if we could be certain that any negative reaction was due solely to the shirt.  I dont think Britain gives a fat flying make the beast with two backs what you wear.   I believe that if you behave like a decent visitor, you'll be treated as such.

Just because you're paranoid doesnt mean the bastards are not out to get you  [roll].

Seriously, you're more likely to get run over by a car when you look the wrong way crossing the road.  Coz you will look the wrong way.

While you're at it make sure you dont wear your Levi's or Nikes especially while drinking Coca Cola at a Londonistan McDonalds  [thumbsup].  

Yup on second thoughts, leave the Imperialist sweatshirt at home and wear something less conspicuous.

Probably best to try to blend in and dress like the locals....

Wear a thong, snake-skin cowboy boots, a green cape, a sombrero and some huge cheap sunglasses...

Everyone will be too busy giving you a wide berth to care where you're from...
