Do you typically modify people's quotes on your planet?

Add to that, I really think the FTP hockey jersey is very fashionable. It's a definite ice-breaker with the ladies as well.

These guys aren't getting as much respect as you think.

Honestly as an "online semi pro" in the past and currently a "live semi pro"...you may not know it but if you walk into the casino with any poker sites clothing you are a fish and most likely a douche.
When I started playing live poker, the first thing my friend who plays higher stakes told me was "Dont wear poker clothes or ****ing sunglasses."

If you can't pick up women wearing ftp clothes, you probably can't pick up women regardless of what you are wearing

I'm not sure it was EVER OK. I think people look like gigantic dork-geeks in that crap. Don't get it wrong: I'd wear it head-to-toe if someone wanted to pay me a dollar to do it! But I wish someone could pinpoint the exact day when poker went from being cool and badass, to being a game run by dorks. Sad.

Wearing online poker gear at live poker is awful. You look like either a douchey walking advertisement for a poker site or a loser trying to show everyone how good they are at poker since they play at X site.

I've collected poker hoodies/sweatshirts etc from poker tournaments over the last 5 years ... and the day FTP relaunched I wore my FTP zip-up which has always been a favorite, but got retired after Black Friday.

Although I normally only wear poker clothing when not playing poker, this one may make an appearance at the tables down the road

Why does whether the DOJ has paid Americans make a difference? FTP screwed us and now it's out of their hands. Plus it's not like my wearing an FTP hoodie in a US casino will encourage anyone to sign up for Full Tilt here. And even if it did, it now benefits Stars, not Lederer/Bitar etc.

Wear whatever you want.

It was actually always ok for you to wear your full tilt gear. They screw you out of your money and now you allow them to screw you out of your gear as well? Sound like you are just asking to be a victim.

If you like it, wear it. Who cares what people think. We are all billboards for companies so it really doesn't matter. Personally, if I had money still stuck on there I wouldn't.

He was obviously commenting on the Consolidation prize without actually doing it.
