For those scoring at home, "Affliction" shirts are +2 when scoring douchestrological rank.

Two matching "Affliction" shirts in a standard 'bag sandwich formation around a tasty ham hottie?

I don't even have the tools to measure or rank the douche echo from such an event. It is off the charts.

Then factor in the combo hair spike, and I'm sent into a spiraling social decline.

In other words I make fun of them while enjoying a tasty Hostess HoHo snack cake.

+1 I think the main people that wear them are wanna be posers and douchebags. Don't care for any of the UFC brands because of the crowd that wears them. I have seen some pretty sweet designs though.

I have one (when I bought it I didn't know it was Affllition or that Affliction was a MMA 'type' thing think I was before the curve ).

I bought it cause it had a Black Sabbath design on it and Ozzy ROCKS!! The affliction logo is barely noticable, unlike those douche bag grey ones above.

When I was in Vegas during the Tito match you'd think there were places that the dress code said 'Affliction shirts only'.

-- I do not compare Affliction and Tapout. I would never wear TapouT unless I was actually in that sport.

Goto the Affliction website, some of those are very cool designs and the "Affliction" is small.

My vote was for the MMA event. Last year, the clothing went Van Dutch.

I do think that you should have to have fought in a full contact sport of some sort at least once in order to wear a shirt from a line like Tapout that is so clearly part of the full contact fighting genre.

I'd agree for TapouT, not for Affliction.

Yeah, I agree. It did take me a while to realize that Afflication wasn't tying itself solely [or even mostly] to MMA. But the first 10x I saw one of those shirts, it had Rampage or some other fighter on it, so I assumed it did.

I still think it does, that is the only tie I have seen, is people who wear them to MMA events. Perhaps I will have to look into it more so I can reasses the brand, I do like some of the designs.
