Just my personal feelings on the matter. Not saying hide your allegiance, if someone asks say something -- but don't wear something from a random team.
I agree, it seems like they have no knowledge of the game, it comes off like, "Hey, look, I'm wearing dis football jerzee to da football game."

OTM: As for going to go the game. I wouldn't recommend wearing a Bills jersey. I had pretty much the worst fan experience of my life going to the Skins-Ravens game last year.

I have no problem with giving each other a hard time, but I had a bottle thrown at me and was challenged to a couple of fights with people I hadn't even exchanged 2 words with. I was embarrassed for the team that their fans are that big of a group of d'bags. Honestly, it was a minority, I did have a decent experience with the people around me, but it also wasn't one isolated incident.

I say, just suck it up, wear some purple and have fun. I've been twice, the other time I borrowed a Ray Lewis jersey and had a decent time.
