Has this happened to anyone else?

The new Norwich shirt.

You''re out a social event, maybe a bbq or sitting in a beer garden, and you wear you''re new City shirt. Now I don''t know if it''s the lighter colour or maybe I just stink but the shirt attracted about a million tiny little black bugs. Hardly an attractive look when you''re swatting them away like a madman, leaving people unsure if you''re having a mini fit or something. This happened to anyone else? Just me? okaaayy...

[The Walking Man 13]

Thunderfly''s cover you if you''re wearing something light coloured not necessarily the new shirt. This year has been quite bad so far.

It''s not just the new one. I wore my old one to football training the other week and had to take it off after 10 mins as it was driving me, and anyone within 2 feet of me crazy.

YES, PEOPLE WHO SHARE MY PAIN!

D''yer reckon it''ll be a problem for the players? Surely not...

[thirdlion 0]

People wear football shirts in a social setting that isn''t football related?

This year I don''t think they''re these Storm Flies.  I think they''re some kind of flea beetle.  They love dry weather and I reckon the dry spell we had in June/July meant they bred like rabbits.

I used to have a yellow car. Never again. It was covered in bugs on a regular basis. It''s why fly paper is yellow.

i was in Yarmouth last week ,never seen anything like it ...it was an invasion ...

Think you''re right about that.  My daughter''s Brownie pack had an outdoor adventure event the weekend before last and they were all warned in advance not to wear their yellow Brownie uniform.

[/quote]When did Brownie uniforms end up yellow? They were always brown when I was a kid.(To pre-empt the obvious joke, no, I was in the cubs)

Oh my goodness. How strange...

It oddly happened to me yesterday. I had my NCFC top doing some gardening and I was ATTACKED in seconds by a billion lil flying gits.... One second, I was fine, next, I was swamped.

I had to punch the air around me and run there were so many of them, I was choking on them.

[/quote]Yeah, I think they travel in gangs. I was at Southwold the other week and the place was swarming with them, then just a few hours later, they had all gone.Though maybe they were all in a nearby town, all over a guy in a city shirt.

[Badcanary 0]

Thought I would do a search on google as I was playing footy the other night and must have swallowed hundreds of the little buggers

Bugs attracted to yellow shocker!

[Blofield Canary 12]

You wait til wasps are around in their millions. Why do you think most companies have changed their hi vis clothing from yellow to orange?
