I've stopped. Apparently there are people who randomly wear gear they have no affiliation with at all and make me feel like I'm the weirdo striking up a conversation or assuming they may know something about it. This happened a few times in a row to me

my wife and i did our honeymoon on cape cod. while there we got advice from a local to go to provincetown (never making that mistake again). While there I wore my LSU shirt and hat I had with me and some random guy comes up and asks if im actually a fan or if i was just wearing it. Said he had gotten caught before saying "geaux tigers" to people who looked at him like he was an idiot because they were just wearing it because they thought it looked cool.

Anyway, come to find out this guy who was there with his flamboyantly gay looking husband was from 20 minutes away from where I grew up and was actually a 2nd or 3rd cousin (same last name as my moms maiden name). The conversation unfortunately turned weird after that as he got pushy that my wife and I hang out with him and his husband but was an interesting experience none the less.
