Poor Mark Giordano is 39 and doesn't realize he shouldn't be wearing a jersey anymore. 😢
51 years old, and still wearing T-shirts with cartoon animals on them. It's not a phase.
Wear whatever u want Guy. 👍
Mr. The.

Ryan Whitney has the IQ of post injury chris benoit
Jason from the top rope, hoooly!
💀
Whitney is a pretentious goofball who should be seeking not giving advice.
I’m laughing because - you should totally do a hockey guy thing for a week where you dress in middle-aged man business casual e.g. buttoned shirt with quarter zip fleece and square glasses with khaki slacks with the watch.
That would make an awesome April Fool's Day video. I can imagine Shannon deadpanning to the camera, talking about how he's decided it's time to "grow up," etc.
@@SarahRenz59 yes you get it lol…tho seriously I’d like to see it just once!
Real men don’t listen to other men telling them how to dress.
I'm over 50. I have hockey, football and baseball jerseys. Most of the time, I wear jeans and t-shirts. My t-shirts are mainly Star Wars, Marvel and Edmonton Oilers themed. If anyone has a problem with that, it's sad for them. If they have time to worry about that, they have a sad, sad life.
Turning 35 later this year, and I've been wearing jeans and metal t-shirts since I was 13/14. I bought a leather jacket in 2005 which I still use, in fact it's my only jacket of any sort and has been since then. Why? Because I love it. These are the clothes and colors and clothes I feel most comfortable in. I do have some colored things as well which I wear whenever I feel like it, and I have a black shirt for formal wear. I also have a small-ish selection of hockey jerseys of various colors which I also wear when I feel is appropriate. I can't see myself ever wearing more traditional or 'neutral' clothes. I have a burning passion for my hobbies, and I proudly display them. They are, in part, an extension of me and I want to keep it that way. Whenever I'm wearing something more traditional, I feel like I'm playing dress-up, and I don't like that. So, that's my way of saying that I'm 110% with you all the way Shannon, and everyone else who feels the same way.
After a certain point in life it's basically "Is this comfortable" and "is this the least dirty thing in the laundry hamper that's comfortable" and "I'm wearing this because it was a gift from my signicant other"
There's an idea in sociology called informalization - the trend in how people dress and speak in western societies since the 60s. Usually referenced for why men don't wear hats and suits and ladies gloves or whatnot, but applies equally to the sources who are claiming a man of 40+ should dress a certain way - they're just caught in a norm from 3-4 decades back, despite how people actually dress at any age getting more informal all the time.
Have you heard of the opinion that JFK single handedly killed the suit-hat combination?
Ah...freedom to be sloppy/lazy..."upscale sneakers"?
@@markherzog3435Sounds good to me. My life.
I’ve made it to 60 without worrying about what I’m wearing. I’ll save boring and brown for my casket 😊
Old man clothes: bib overalls and a Stormy Cromer hat. That's what I wear and I'm old. Only own 3 hockey jerseys: Joe Mullen Calgary Flames, Walt McKechnie, Golden Seals and Ron Francis, Penguins. Mullen & McKechnie are older than me, and Francis is just a little bit younger. I bought his because it was an authentic, and I found it for 25 dollars in the Boston Garden souvenir shop when Boston Garden was being torn down. The store was just trying to get rid of everything and that jersey looked so good for the price. For a 60 year old guy to be wearing something like a Jack Hughes jersey would be embarrassing. Leave that for 14 year old girls.
THG: “I don’t have a boardroom”
Your room is full of whiteboards… sooo technically it is a boardroom.
(I’ll take my dad humour and show myself out)
Good thing it's 2023, wear whatever you feel like.
You and Yvonne have very unique styles and they are fantastic
Thanks again man!
I’m 43 and yes i still dress pretty much like i did in middle/high school which is hockey jerseys during the season I have close to 200 l. Also, my band T-shirts. I don’t own really any other kind of T-shirts, I don’t wear dressy shirts like buttons and stuff like that.
I can understand where people are coming from when they believe your wardrobe should change as you get older. I worked with a woman when I was in my 30s and she was in her 50’s and asked me one day, why do dress like you’re still in high school? I told her honestly I’ve never thought about that. I’ve always liked wearing my hockey jerseys & my band T-shirts & I don’t care for any other style. I told her I don’t anticipate changing either whether I’m in my 50s or 60s it’s probably going to pretty much be the same. And there was another guy that worked with us. He was a little younger than me, & he always wore dress shirts tucked in with his blue jeans. He always had sneakers or dress shoes on & I said to her, do you want me to dress like Doug? She says, oh see Doug looks so classy, respectable and mature. I said so that doesn’t mean anything that he looks the part I said i’m those things too but just because I don’t look the part. I said, I think I have a unique look, I don’t see too many other people walking around wearing band T-shirts & hockey jerseys. I think that’s what makes me unique, so I don’t quite fit in & that’s the way I like it.
The next step after the beige jacket is the rocking chair... Some of the items on the list scream "Grampa!" 😂
LOL. I’m 70. I don’t wear a suit, except at weddings.
I wear bright color shirts a lot, R&R t-shirts, hockey, baseball and football related t’s and hats, blue jeans, & shorts(Summer) & sneakers(sometimes sandals)
On the golf course, I never wear gray or dull, boring stuff.
I drive an Inferno Orange ZL1 Camaro, and it is definitely a conversation starter.
I’ve never liked dull boring stuff, period. Some guys do, and that’s fine. It’s their choice. But it’s not mine.
I just chose to skip that debate and go straight to the point of jaded cynicism where I stopped caring about offending others or their opinions!! LOL.
The weird thing is, I do wear stuff like that - jeans, dr martins or vans, black t-shirts and a leather jacket usually - however when they’ve said “solid colour shirts”, I don’t think they mean one which has Slayer or Metallica written on it 😂. Wear whatever you want and sod anyone else who has an opinion on it.
Makes me want to wear my Sabres Dixon Ward angry goat jersey to work tomorrow...
“I don’t need a wristwatch, I have a phone” made me second guess my apple watch…
I'll never stop wearing hockey jerseys. I love wearing them in the fall with khaki shorts. I have some fall colored jersey, Xmas and playoffs whomever I'm cheering for.
Yooooo!!! That Woody watch joke had me rollllling! Thank you, Shannon!
I'm 41. It's almost impossible to wear a jersey of someone older than me that's still playing the game.
Ryan Whitney is entitled to an opinion, but he's wrong. He's one of those people who has made money in his life so he thinks his opinion matters more. Sorry, Ryan. But while he has had a certain degree of success in entertainment (and let's be clear; sports is just a form of entertainment) he has a limited education and a very narrow world view cultivated among other people who grew up playing hockey and got paid to play hockey. And now he's got some degree of notoriety, so he has a following that will nod vigorously and agree with him.
But he's wrong as it gets. It is the year two thousand and twenty-three. If you are confident in what you want to wear, rock it. And if you want to wear something very much, but aren't confident in it because of people like Ryan, do your best to say "screw that guy" and wear what you want to wear. Be the person you want to be. Life is too short to pretend for the sake of other people.
At 40 it's hockey jerseys with Dickies and basketball shoes. Tons of death metal shirts, joggers, and MiLB baseball caps... I basically dress the same as I did half a lifetime ago and Idgaf. I do have chinos and loafers but even the wife thinks I look weird dressing my age. Being in graphic design I also love that every color is popular right now... you can get away with almost anything.
Damn right Shannon. I’m 43 and still wear hockey jerseys and tiger print zubaz pants and snarky t-shirts. I have one pair of jeans. I have two pairs of dress pants for the two days a week where I have to be in an actual office to go with…hockey branded golf shirts. I refuse to look like my dad
I'm 68. I am sometimes self-aware when I am among my peers in their polo shirts, loafers and chinos and I am wearing jeans, running shoes, and a t-shirt that may have a band's name on it or a sports team or something political, artsy or touristy. It doesn't bother me. If the occasion calls for spiffing up, I will dress better. I only own two jerseys (Dahlin and Ristolainen), and one Sabres Buffaslug t-shirt with Drury's name and number on the back. I'd apologize to no one for wearing Dahlin (Risto's long gone). If I had money, I'd try to get a vintage Michael Peca goathead jersey or a Mogilny jersey. My phone has a clock, so why do I need a wrist watch? I own chinos but not a dress suit. My ulitmate sin may be wearing ballcaps (Bills, Yankees, Blue Jays, Army vet). I have jeans in two waist sizes to handle the seasonal fluctuations in my waist line.
Supposedly you become more politically conservative as you get older. That hasn't happened with me. Also, I'm not a technophobe. I'm the oldest person in my department and I'm regularly sharing software tips and shortcuts with my co-workers.
im a dead set conservative and honestly ive gotten a little more liberal on some issues as ive gotten older. less taxation is theft though still f the irs
I wear jeans, sweat pants, bright colored t-shirts, heck even my winter jacket is red while my boots are a darker red (cause i can barely find anything non black). I like color and I'm 36. F the haters
This is great! People sometimes complain that I should grow up and dress as an adult. Perhaps I should send this video to them.
I (40+) always wear a black t-shirt (bands) or one-coloured dresshirt for work. Leather jacket (Brando style) and leather boots (MC or cowboy style). Slim black jeans to that.
But all in all, people always wants to find ways to dictate and overpower people.
“Don’t wear a jersey of someone younger then you” looks like I’m going to have to give up my Miro Heiskanen jersey for a couple of months
I can only wear a Gio jersey and that's about it apparently.
LOL. Some of the coaches are younger than me.
@@thewireheadmechanist The last player who was older than me was Chris Chelios, and he had to play 25 years to make it. Guys 10 years younger than me have kids playing in the league (ex-Keith Tkachuk).
@@RRaquello You are my people. I remember both of them when they played for the Thrashers. And Scott Mellanby, for that matter.
The woody wrist watch😂
I do have to say that when I hit my 40s I stopped wearing some clothes that I use to wear in my 20s and 30s. Mostly my hard rock and heavy metal shirts. I still love hard rock and heavy metal and always will but I just felt like that was something young people do, band t-shirts, and I felt sELF conscious about it. It seems though hockey stuff appeals to a much larger demographic. There is alot of people here in Edmonton that are over 40 that wear Oilers stuff it's not uncommon to see. I think you can wear what you like I scaled back on some clothes because it bothered me but, everyone is different and I can never see myself wearing suits and dress clothes because that is what middle age people wear because I hate that shit.
I really just think Whitney is upset nobody wears any of his jerseys..
Thing is - old people clothes are the same as what they wore when they were younger. Time changes, and fashion with it. Old people don't.
Except for black socks. May I be the last.
Where I live, Old men wear Eagles sweatshirts, Jeans/Jorts & New Balance Sneakers..
John Cena???
@Razzilla's Realm well they are from Philly, so more like JAWN Cena
I love that jersey, I am from Hamilton and have been to their series wins in 2018 & 2022 and I am gonna miss watching them! Favourite Hockey youtuber by far!
Ryan needs to respect his elders. I'm ornery, have much more experience, and I'll wear my jerseys, t-shirts, and cargo shorts whenever and wherever I want. When he pays my rent, I'll consider the opinion. In other news, I loved this video. Right on point.
Still wear jerseys, sports t shirts, anime/ cartoon t shirts, combat boots or heels, &tie dye sweatshirts
"is it clean" yes- i wear it.
It's okay Shannon the jerseys are awesome!! Don't take too much advice from guys with years of CTE damage
L take from Whit let people enjoy things
I am 57. I dress the way I want. I like comfort, bright colours sometimes, hockey sweaters, runners, athletic gear. No not the sausage making outfits.(lol) Love hoodies, They are just convenient and so comfortable. Carrhart seems to be my brand. Thats me. I like rock n roll . basically, I am still in 83, with a ton of wisdom.
You missed the sandals/socks combo...
I will always wear jerseys and hats! Don’t care if people believe at a certain age you need to “grow up” I pay my bills and take care of myself and my loved ones even while wearing jerseys! Great video
A big thing people believe people my age should be doing is getting married and having kids but my girlfriend and I don’t feel that’s right for us and amazing how many people think that is just weird to not do that lol
I never wore a wrist watch when i was younger. Nowadays I do, nothing flashy tho, like a 60€ (65 US$-ish) Casio digital one. I live to be able to check the time quickly and not always have to dig my phone from my pocket, coz then i usually end up with mny phone in the hand for the next five minutes. I'm 40 now =D
Who cares what others think. If you like jersey you do you! I think you look great in Hockey jerseys with these awesome caps. Continue to be yourself Shannon, we love you just the way you are 💙
The day I start taking fashion advive from Ryan Whitney is the day I get my politics from LeBron James.
You sound exactly like me, Shannon, haha. I've never owned a suit in my life. I spent 24 years in the Air Force, so fancy occasions got the dress blues. After being told what to wear the whole time, I wear wtf i want now. It helps that I work from home.
Guess I gotta get rid of my Oregon Trail t-shirts then. Damn.
Love ya Shannon. 61 soon, been wearing the same thing since New Wave went out. Black T shirt usually music related, occasionally offensive. Black sneakers and socks. Black jeans, now black cargo shorts since living in FL. Still wear my same Leetch sweater I've had since 1993 even though he is younger than me. As well as K'Andre Miller's. I wear what I am comfortable in, don't care what other think. I wear a Kilt on occasion just to stir the reaction pot.
I actually quite like polos, khakis, chinos and button ups, but I don't think there's anything wrong with jerseys or band shirts either.
Elliott Friedman praises thrift store t-shirts in the podcast today. :)
Man, when you were first talking about rock t-shirts, I was thinking of Dwayne Johnson "the rock" t-shirts . He's popular, but not everyone has his shirts hahaha
I am from Finland , I am 61 yo , I have never care what people think about me , because they don`t know me. My wife don`t even know me , and we have been maried for 25 years. Go Ducks
So true I actually have watch but wear mostly shorts never owned a suit ever rented for my wedding and high school graduate
40 here All I wear is wrestling/sports T-shirts always have always will 🙂
I'm 21 and I still play Mario and Zelda almost daily
Loafers just scream : " I'm eighty and don't care ".Lol.
I am 45 and I just wear t-shirts and shorts most of the time. It gets over 100 Fahrenheit here during the summer here. Way too hot for jeans.
I am 53 and I only own either Band t-shirts or pop culture ones (tv shows, anime or comic books t-shirts). I do own 2 white dress shirts because I had to go to a wedding a few years ago and I bought them then, haven't worn them since
This kind of fashion advice is meant more for people who are actively dating when they're older than married folk, who can generally wear whatever they want until their wife throws their clothes out.
Wear what you want. My personally, I wouldnt but i dont care what others wear
I’m 80. I wear what I want to wear. Shorts Hawaiian shirts. No skinny leg pants. I don’t care what anyone else thinks. And I watch the Hockey Guy
Always remember. Don't ever make the mistake of buying a woman a watch. They don't need them when there is a clock on the stove.
Old man? Dress in grey slacks,a blue shirt and a blazer , or sports jacket or golf clothes, or Hawaiian shirts . That’s it!
White tube socks in sandals it's a big no
@11:55 we hear BASED, BASED! BASED!
I'm your age, and I've made a decision that when I get in shape, I'll dress better. My process for getting in shape so far isn't working due to daily consumption of soda. So I guess jeans and a fleece with hiking boots will have to suffice. And under that fleece? Iron Maiden. Yeah, that's not changing.
I say wear wht u want, who cares as long as ur happy!
I’m 50 years old and I stopped wear a watch on my wrist because in my line of work I was breaking the face of it. I agree that my phone is better because my job also uses my iPhone as a time clock and a way to communicate.
It's hard to find a guear with the NHL logo only (ur caps)
Might as well get a monocle, top hat and pocket watch.
I just wear a towel around the house and a banana leaf for informal public occasions.
How about formal occasions? Black loincloth?
How about formal occasions? Black loincloth?
If you want to wear something nice go with the Leafs
until this I thought only women got that sort of age judgement nonsense. In my 60s and i wear what I want. love the jerseys as convo starters. hoping people relax the judgement a bit. not sure if they are closed minded or jealous
Some comedy magazine, maybe National Lampoon?, had the story of the last teenager on earth, where they built him a huge bowl to skateboard around in and all the people in their tens of thousands could yell at him how he was supposed to behave or how to skate better or anything. He was considered a resource for all the frustrated adults who needed to criticize the young. The old get their criticism share, too! But the cool like Shannon just skate over it all. YEs - I am a boring dresser, but I always was, just for full disclosure.
i personally dont like being a walking advertisement but i also dont care what other people do/wear lol
every girls crazy about a sharp dressed man.
i wear what i wear
same as when i was young
i did wear a watch i no longer do.
im known for wearing habs gear and a hat and ray bans.
dont like socks
its my style,not going to change it because my hair is grey.
Interesting topic. I've never cared about fashion or dressing to impress people. That always seemed like a waste of time & money. Aside from appropriate work attire, people should just wear what they find comfortable & makes them happy. If that's a suit & tie or a hockey jersey & shorts, so be it.
Jersey Foul, so I can't wear a Seider jersey because I'm in my 30's? Who came up with that dumb rule? Jaguars legend Blake Bortles.
I never got the watch thing, until...
Late 90s and for some reason I'm in a jewelry store burning time waiting on something. I'm looking at the watches and an eco light charging dial watch jumped out at me. I had a job where I had to wear a watch but never wanted to wear one otherwise. This was before everyone carried a phone. Ironically enough it was about $300. I can't tell you why I bought it. I didn't leave the house without it on my wrist for two decades until the battery finally gave up the ghost. I loved that watch. In different circumstances I'd want to pass it on. Maybe it's about being Gen X. Maybe because I'm only a few years off Boomer. Whatever the reason I always had three things leaving the house, that watch, wallet, and keys. Sure we've all got phones but it's easier just to turn your wrist. Why not just leave your phone in the car, or better yet, at home? Don't worry, they'll leave a message or a text.
A 20 dollar Timex tells the same time as a $20,000 Rolex.
@RRaquello I misplaced a number of 5 and 10 dollar watches. More than a handful. I still have this one three decades later. It's a decent watch, not pretentious, nothing special, just special to me. Plus, it doesn't look like I borrowed it from my kid or I'm about to go for a jog. As I discovered, there's something about the click of a heavy steel watch band on a table that's somewhat satisfying. I'll never poke a hole in my ear or nose, and I don't like rings or tattoos. A watch I can work with.
Im 37 and wear a jersey whenever the weather is good enough for it. Eff the haters. If not a jersey than its a hoody and jeans.
Speedo and a tang top is perfect for guys in their late 40s
Something. The correct answer is something. I see too many content creators on UA-cam, mostly male, who seem allergic to shirts. Whatever makes you feel comfortable. Obviously, if you're doing the THG channel, a hockey jersey or a hockey t shirt makes sense. On this channel, anything goes, really.
There's only one rule: Does your wife like your look?
Women know and really, if she's happy life is good.
You need several pairs of New Balance that are all somewhat similar design and colour.
I feel everyone is entitled to their own opinion. If he (Whit) feels that he needs to upgrade his wardrobes to feel accepted within his own age group, I respect that. It doesn't affect my life in any way. However, I side with the younger population, and maybe the overall consensus in society. I feel that you should wear whatever you want, whatever makes you feel comfortable. Like most of us, I was not born into "the lifestyle" nor would I ever feel comfortable being accepted into that group in society. I love wearing my hockey jerseys everywhere. Whether I'm at a game, skating, grocery store, gas station, etc. I never feel any shame when I'm wearing a jersey or any bold and bright outfits. Always be comfortable with WHO YOU ARE
Yeah I'm still gonna play mass effect for a thousand time. I don't care!
i wonder what young people would think about being told how to dress...lmao. i'm hardly going to be told what should be wearing by people who still don't know they are wearing their shirt inside out. i never cared what older people thought, and i don't care what my peers think, so anyone younger telling me i'm too old for anything is going to immediately land in the ineffectual loser catagory. they should concentrate more on their own fashion failures.
THG/TEG definitely does not pay anyone to come up with his video titles.
All the players are younger than me. I'm not putting my name on the back...
I actually have a solution to that but I'm keeping it a secret until I actually do it.
Not just plain socks, black socks, especially with shorts mowing the lawn.
my dad (late 40s) dressed like that. guess what, his mid-life crisis caused him to lose three houses. lost his career. and he turned into a drug addict.
just because you dress clean doesn’t mean anything.
im the opposite. im 21 almost always hoodies, sweatpants and some backwards baseball cap. if it’s too warm, oversized t-shirt and gym shorts. it’s not like i really go out to impress anyone
Whatever you damn well please.
Wear whatever...avoid rock concerts.
Who dey? Am i right?
Whit is just wrong. The older you get, the more fashion freedom you get. Wear stripes with plaids. Get some Sketchers. Wear socks with sandals. Grow out your ear hair. Heck, wear a Bulldog jersey!
Would you ever wear European jerseys? E.g. Pelicans, or KooKoo from Finland lol
