I dunno, I think it's a personal thing. I wear my stuff - heck, I wear old merch that I bought at this or that concert if they were a particularly good show. When we saw NIN in Houston, my boyfriend wore a shirt I got him when I saw them in Seattle, and I wore a shirt from the last time they played Austin.
To each their own  I don't care what I appear as. I just love the music and wanna wear my kewl new NIN-stuff. | |

For me it is OK to wear them.
But of course- it is even cooler to wear them in front of people who wanted to go to the show but couldn't manage....  | |

it's perfectly fine.i wear my shirts with pride, i even seem to stand a little straighter and hold my head higher while i rock em'.

yeah i've always thought that was a no-no too but i think now i just don't care. i made a shirt on spreadshirt that i wore twice during the with_teeth tour. i'm not sure that counts coz its not a band shirt but does reference the band.
see for yourself front: [i18.photobucket.com] back (signed by trent ):
[i18.photobucket.com] . i've also worn a custom corset made from a nin tshirt to a show. does that count? then last week at red rocks, it was super chilly so i wore the 1,000,000 sweatshirt. everytime someone walked by wearing it my fiance would cover his face and say 'awkward...' 
edit: i will say that nin is the one band that seems to have the most people wearing their shirts. Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 09/06/2008 10:46AM by sweeterthan. | |

I've always thought HUGE mistake. I don't do it. I'd much rather rub it in everyone's facs that they weren't at my show.. But I'm a bitch like that. Last show I attended the singer had a shirt with the festival on it. I had to LOL

Before I went to my first rock concert many moons ago, I also heard that wearing a band's merch to their show is just wrong. so...never did it, never will. I don't know what the reasoning is behind the "rule," but the way I see it, a concert isn't like a football game where people wear their teams' colors to show which team they're supporting. At a concert (except maybe a festival) you can pretty much assume that everyone is there to support the headlining band. But if it makes you happy...wear the damn shirt!
