Kev I put "no", but it depends on the person/necklace. Ultimately, if the person wearing it likes the necklace then who cares what anyone else thinks?!!

kingbunky 3 #3 May 19, 2009 like nataly said, depends on who you're wearing it for. if it's for you, and you like it, screw what anyone else thinks."Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart."

anthonyfellows 0 #6 May 19, 2009 Well is it a necklace or a shirt? How do you get that entire sentence on a necklace anyway? Personally, I hate tie die shirts (on me). When a hot chick is wearing one, I don't hate them near as much.

Sletzer 3 #7 May 19, 2009 I voted "No" although I've never had one. It is kind of funny to see people decked out with the necklace, skydive shirt, skydive hat, etc when the're pre- A license. Nothing wrong with it, just lots and lots of enthusiasm. I'd have to agree with others, if you're wearing it for you, screw what anyone thinks. If you're wearing it to impress others .... oh what the heck, go for it.I will be kissing hands and shaking babies all afternoon. Thanks for all your support! *bows* SCS #8251 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is your friend a new skydiver or what? I don't understand why a skydiver would wear a "Why would anyone jump out of ... da ta da ta da" shirt to begin with. Doesn't really make too much sense. A closing pin necklace ... I don't see why that would make anyone look like a dork. Most people wouldn't have a clue what it is or think to even wonder. I'm not much of a necklace person, so I can't say I have one. However, I think if I were to wear one, it would be to constantly remind me of the fun times that I have at the dz.Serious relationships turn into work after a few weeks and I already got a fucking job :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ H.A.F. = Hard As Fuck ...

So, if a person is actually involved in a sport, then they should pick their level of involvement. That includes accessorizing. Almost every female scuba diver that I know has a dolphin necklace or charm. Sometimes, I hear the SO of a jumper put down the shirts/necklaces because they aren't involved.
