MMA Clothing: Affliction T-shirts
Written by Mike on November 1, 2008 – 1:32 am -Since around 2005, the California-based Affliction clothing has been seen on many celebrities, particularly mixed martial arts athletes. The design is easily recognizable on fighters such as Chuck Liddell, Randy Couture, Josh Barnett, Fedor Emelianenko and Georges St-Pierre. Outside the mma community, Ozzy Osbourne and other musicians wear Affliction as well. To put it simply, this mma clothing is very very fashionable today.
Check out the pictures for Affliction designs. Note the dark images that are intriguing and just simply need to be on your back. It is best to judge for yourself if you want such evocative imagery on your person. You’ll just either know if you have the compulsion to wear the shirts or not. If you do feel compelled enough, you may order from their site: http://www.afflictionclothing.com/

For those who train martial arts like mma, jiu-jitsu or muay thai, seeing so many other people wear a Georges St-Pierre Affliction shirt may be a bit disconcerting. Keep in mind though, that Affliction heavily supports the sport of mma especially by having had a recent event with Fedor Emelianenko going against Tim Sylvia for somthing called the World Association of Mixed Martial Arts (WAMMA) heavyweight title in the main event. The company needs much capital to put up a big event like that. Though a lot of people train mma or mma-related disciplines, that’s not enough of a market for Affliction to make money. The company needs to market to the whole 18-to-40-year-old age group. So the next time you see an overweight person, who probably has not done a sit-up in 10 years, wearing mma clothing like Afflcition, keep in mind that that person contributed to Affliciton and therefore contributed to the sport of mma.
Like other known clothing lines with terrific designs, Affliction mma clothing costs a bunch. Can you imagine spending between 60 and 90 US dollars on a T-shirt? Of course, if looking cool at a party is that important then the Affliction shirts are very much worth that much of your money. It must be noted though, that due to its popularity, you are definitely not going to be the only one who thinks they’ll look cool going out wearing Affliction.
Affliction also has jackets, polos and jeans with designs similar to the shirts. However, they are also the expensive kind. So if the price is more important to you that the design or the need to wear mma-related clothing, stick to the clothing you’ll commonly find at stores like Sears or Target.

Affliction has some great artwork. I have seen so many fighers wearing the gear. I think this brand, Pimpit Fight Team clothing http://www.pimpit, Code of Silence (COS), and Throwdown fight gear have the best quality all around.
