Should I bring my Red Sox sweatshirt with me to Europe? Or will that
peg me as an American to be avoided at all costs? Like not to stick out, but I wonder if people over there would even know what/who the Red Sox are.

What do you think?

1. I think it depends on where you're going.
We've been/go to places where it's advised to keep a really low profile. I never 'announce where I'm from usually. But how 'bout those Sox?!

2. Bad Move
As a rule, they really don't wear any team sports related clothing items.

Unless they are attending a soccer match, and then wearing the wrong thing is like the crips and the bloods having the wrong color on.

They tend to dress much better than the average American fat ass, burger eating, sweat suit wearing swine.

3. American tourists can be easily spotted by their 'label clothing',

also by travel, rock, and sports t-shirts and sweatshirts.

When I travel to Europe, Ireland, or the UK, I leave all such stuff at home.

PS: Ditch the Jansport fanny-pack, too. :)

4. Thanks everyone--you know, in Prague I'm not sure it will be an issue...
...they like American things there. I suppose it should go back in the closet, though!
