Why not a kilt?

I wear a kilt (I'm Irish). I play in my kilt sometimes. I also get some strange looks and comments. I wonder why?

Somebody start the pipes and let's go!

Could be because here in the states wearing a kilt isn't something you see everyday..

ummm...yeah

i guess it all depends on what you wear under your kilt....i was pretty sure that kilts were a scottish thing though, not irish.

anyways...good luck i guess....you probably get looks b/c guys in a skirt in the south is pretty unusual! lol also scared to shoot b/c they cant tell if youre a girl or guy.

most guys dont want to HURT a girl!

perhaps they are questioning what possessed you to make such a fashion statement...

I like it,you don't see it everyday so most find it strange but I think it shows that you don't care what others think.Plus after playing against you a second time I know that you don't have much time to ponder the kilt before you eliminate them LOL

Kilts are both Irish and Scotish. The fabric paterns distinguish one Klan from another much like nations flags today. Likewise The Scots and Irish culture has a long history of bagpipes.

Police departments In New York, Boston and NY/NJ Porth Authorty have many Bagpipers (Pipers) in there ranks which appear several times a year for events like Columbus Day, Thanksgiving but come in full force on St. Patrick's Day.

Most of the NY/NJ Port Authority Bagpipers were killed in the line of duity on September 11th, 2001 in the atack on the World Trade Centers.
