Ferrari as fashion?

I have seen alot of this even in the states. Man Rule No. 396: Only those who do NOT own a Ferrari should wear Ferrari clothing and accessories...

 

I have never seen a person here who has Ferrari apparel. When I went to a Puma store though, there were like a couple of guys who are looking for Puma shirt with a Ferrari logo on it.

I only wear mine when I'm in the Ferrari. I don't want people to think I'm a poseur wearing Ferrari clothing coming out of a BMW.

 

Or that you're a fan/supporter? Don't care what people think - what does it change?

 

"When Calvin Kline starts wearing my name on his butt, ..."

 

I'll wear only one Ferrari item at a time...watch, cap, or t-shirt. Someone posted a pic of a "Ferrari Nerd" here on a similar thread...head-to-toe in prancing horse and other ferrari-logo attire.

 

I haven't seen it much here in California, the exception being a Grand Prix viewing event/FOC-FCA concours last summer, where the shirts and caps were out in force (and appropriately).

Ferrari is an incredibly evocative brand, so yes, I would say it sits in the same aspirational end of the brand spectrum as Gucci or Chanel. Probably anything that inspires cheap knockoffs - Rolex, Louis Vuittion, Panerai, Armani - sits there. It is chic. All most people know is that Ferrari makes insanely fast, staggeringly expensive two-seaters -- romantic, impractical, rare and exotic (things Italian are always in fashion.)

But wearing the logo on clothing in a normal setting just doesn't work at all. Either you don't have a Ferrari and you want everyone to know that you really really want one but maybe don't have the discretionary income; or, you have a Ferrari, and you're so insecure about it that every time you venture more than 100 feet from the car you need logo-wear so people really know it's your car.

(Those rule don't apply to women or kids. Women can wear Ferrari caps, and because we know they aren't generally obsessed with cars -- and usually couldn't care less -- it's easier to take it as a sporting touch and not some kind of need to meld their self-identity with the brand.)

 

I hope this is OK, I have about 10 Ferrari baseball cap all diff. styles, it just feels better when I drive my 308 with the targa top off.

 

to cover up that bald spot! (Just kidding!) I couldnt resist, you left yourself wide open. I wanna wear Ferrari stuff just to celebrate (in advance) Raikonnen's soon to be domination of Formula 1, i just dont want to see like all those newbie's at Indy, where 1/2 that people wear Ferrari gear and cant name a driver!

 

I rarely wear F clothes, except for vintage F wear

I usually wear NART stuff or FCA stuff

The new Puma stuff is cheap & nasty looking anyways

 

I wear a Ferrari jacket (Michael Schumacher) and an F-hat. My wife gave these to me for my birthday. I wear them and find that it is a great conversation starter. When they ask if I own a Ferrari I say yes.
They ALWAYS ask what model.

I have met many people that I never would have met had I not worn the clothing. Everybody has been great. Met some guys who have very impressive collections.

I have met lots of Schumi fans in Aspen, the vast majority of whom do not own a Ferrari but love Schumi and the mark.

It took me 40+ years to get a Ferrari. I am proud of it. Ferrais are pretty common where I live. It's not like I'm the only person in town that has one. Many have several...Enzos, F40s, F50s, and rare vintage models.

I have a Ferrari F1 Team Polo, and matching Puma shoes that I love to wear... but I wear them more as a fan of the F1 team rather than being a Ferrari driver.

 

A friend of mine brought me a cheaply embroidered shirt he bought from a street vendor in Italy for $3 US. I wear it because it has sentimental value, and don't own any other Ferrari clothes / merchandise. If I owned a Ferrari, that would be enough for me!

 

The icon is the guy who bought the $3million Oldsmobile at Barrett-Jackson. Never seems to go anywhere without the "F" ball cap.

 

I have a bunch of Ferrari shirts, hat and a couple of Ferrari shoes. (one of which is only for driving though). I also have a cavallino tattooed on my chest and I have enough Ferrari stuff at my house to open a small store yet I do not own a Ferrari. I thing I got a bit above and beyond the normal fan. I usually don't wear more than one thing at a time unless going to a race or car show etc. At the end of the day I don't really car wether people think its cheesy or stupid to wear Ferrari clothes, I like to and I certianly don't do it to be a poseur but because I really like Ferrari and its my dream to own one.

 

Really? That's hardcore man.

 

I love Ferrari clothes and hats.
Wear em all the time.

 

I usually just wear my Ferrari hat and a Ferrari sweatshirt on weekends. During the week, I have a Ferrari watch that I wear.

someone got happy with the submit reply button. lol

 

Some of these posts are pretty funny!
So everybody who is so against wearing Ferrari stuff, I'm safe to assume that you NEVER wear any gear from your favorite NFL/NBA/MLB/NHL/etc teamsfor the exact same reasons, right?!?

SHEESH!!!!!!!!

 

Yep!

 

Yes, I wear Ferrari, Nike, Golds Gym, Everlast, etc brands. I do not wear NASCAR or Ga Bulldogs stuff (eventhough I worked for UGA for 10yrs) but would never scorn those that do. Voodoo is good.

 

Dont know what happened. I hit the reply button just once, but then again, I am trying to catch up with PAP and his thousands of replys!
