How many Orgers besides me is sitting here typing while wearing a Prince T-shirt or whatever other Prince crap one might wear?...

And when you go out in public, what reaction do you get?

I'm a Black male in my early 30's.. I know I get some strange looks sometimes, but it's kinda funny to me....but not to my embarassed wife (she's not exactly a Fam, not even a casual fan)

..and when someone is hip it's even better..but then there's always someone that wants to talk about the PR album...then I'm ready to keep on moving..

I'm still too afraid I'll get my ass kicked.

I wore the Prince tshirt that I made for the concert, (purple with pic of Prince's 1999 cover photo) and I think 5 people asked me if I went to the concert, what a great concert it was and how they could see the man again.

As a black female, I wear my P shirts all the time. No strange looks though, everyone knows I am a P fan. When I wear my Supercute shirt, only expert P fans know that it is P related.

i don't really wear the prince shirts i've gotten at concerts - mostly because i don't like the kind of t-shirts they used. i'm moving more and more away from buying t-shirts at concerts anymore, though i had to have the 1999 and raspberry beret shirts. i'm gonna just keep 'em on hand as keepsakes more than anything else, though.

i'm kind of a design snob with what i'll wear outside the house - the only concert t-shirt i'll be caught dead in is my magnetic fields shirt, cuz it's just a great big white letter "i" on a black t-shirt and it looks neeto and the shirt's comfy.

I think my favorite Prince shirt is the Big NPG Hockey Jersey from the Emancipation era..

Mine is White with gold trim and has a big "NPG" symbol on the front and spells out "New

Power Generation" that spans across the back and onto the sleeves..

Some folks dig it and some just don't get it.... but I don't give a shit either way,, as long as I

still like it.. and I have had it about 3 or 4 years.

You know I am.

I wear a True Funk Soldier tank top to sleep (I think it's a female one because it's kinda small on me despite being an extra large), but other than that I don't wear anything Prince related.

If I could find a Prince shirt like the David Bowie one I have on in my profile picture, that'd be cool.

i wear one hoop earing on a daily basis, with an "S" hangin from it...sorta prince-ish i guess? lol

and i wear my purple musicology tour 2004ever shirt often as well lol

The only article of Prince clothing I have is an "Emancipation" cap that I ordered years ago from 1-800-NEW-FUNK. I wear it sometimes if I go shopping or something on a "bad hair" day. People sometimes ask me where I got it and sometimes they offer to buy it from me. One old man saw the symbol on the side of it and thought it was a New Orleans Saints hat.

Yep, wearing one right now. I wear them nearly all the time and don't really get much reaction from it. I did however get bombarded with questions by this one guy at a petrol station asking all of the typical questions: is he black/white, straight/gay, where is he now? etc.. It was weird!

I don't own any Prince shirt but I have plenty of pictures and I would pictures of of him all up in my folder. Trust me, I was the ONLY 16-18 year old girl who had a pic of Prince on her folder so I got questions and maybe a strange look or 2 but if anyone wanted to hate I'd step up and defend him and my reason for liking him. And if I a shirt I'd wear the hell out of that thing.

I wear nothing Prince related, because it's all way 2 overpriced.

I'm wearing my Musicology t-shirt right now along with my necklace. I also have the Rainbow Children shirt. I've always received complements in public. Especially on the necklace.

Love & Light,

Man! I work at a radio station and we interviewed Nas. (I'm such a Nas fan...I was like wow!!)
And I had an old Prince T-shirt from the My Name is Prince days. And Nas was like, that shirt is hot, you go to his show? And I was like I been to many of them. He was like, that's hot.

I mean, I kept a lot of the old prince t shirts form high school, and i always get compliments. They're vintage "throw backs". I mean, everywhere I go, people love em! but I was so GEEKED Nas was feeling my T-shirt. and i know,,, i never get star struck now, but that was NAs Esco, Nasty NAs, Nastradamus, God's Son!!!!! OMI GOD!!

I don't ever wear t-shirts, but I did own one. It was a Lovesexy t-shirt from the 88 concert that has Half of Prince's face (drawn) and then the other half was rainbows and symbols and whatnot. I wore it to school the day after the concert (they way you did it back when you were a kid), and then I slept in it for a few years and then I used it as a dustrag. I just threw it away in January. Did anybody else own this shirt or remember this shirt?
Just curious.

S

I have My Musicology shirt that Im trying to work up the courage to wear
(the black one with his face on it)
and I have a white shirt with the Parade cover on the front that I love

I can't find any shirts. I would wear them in a second. I had an old lovesexy t-shirt that just had the words lovesexy on them in colorful letters. An ex girlfriend took it and never gave it back.

Now I guess it all depends on what on the shirt. I don't think I would wear a shirt with the lovesexy cover on it,,,lol.

i have 3 prince t-shirts, but i ain't wearin one today (i've got one of my rage against the machine shirts on today)...the only one that i wear on a frequent basis is my dm one...other than that, it ain't like i only wear my p t-shirts. i have so many other t-shirts (non p-related, yay!) in my closet it's absurd.

I'm wearin my black polo shirt w/ the symbol(you could hardly see it) from the NPGMC.com at work today .

I have a Prince guitar pick necklace I bought at the "Musicology" tour, and I have not taken it off since I put it on. It's been almost two weeks. People think it's cool that I like him. My friends don't give me crap about it anymore. Finally!

I bought a bunch of those at one Celebration. They were super cheap and they looked comfy. Boy was I wrong... the polyester material rubs my nipples raw.

ME TOO!

I don't often wear the few shirts i have, but a newer one that reads True funk Soldiers with the Crossed hohners looks good enough to wear out.
