I would honestly not do it. I speak to noone about my passion SC esports, and that is only because I dont want to be seen as a nerd, which I not even really am, if you count the Esports thing out. Atleast in Germany, where I come from and in my group of friends, nerds still are seen as boring, unhygienic and do nothing else then sit in front of a computer. I do none of that stuff, but i would be seen as a nerd for only the fact that I watch professional SC2. And frankly, that turns a lot of people off.
But in the end, it is just if you care what other people think about you or if you do not.

wear it dude, no reason not to, if he asks why, just say it was clean, so you wear it. Also alternatively just say you are a huge SC1 fan and no other reason than that.
User was warned for too many mimes.

Um what is the downside?

He gets upset that you wear a shirt about Starcraft and thinks you are being racist? That's nuts. If you want to wear the shirt, wear it. In all likelihood he won't notice unless he knows CJEntus and then bam, conversation topic.

Definitely wear it! I really don't see how anything bad could come of it.

I would wear it :D I wouldn't even consider it nerdy, because only ballers wear brood war t shirts.

Of course wear it! If the guy feels offended then he is abnormally sensitive.

There's nothing to be ashamed of! Also, a beautiful bromance may bloom.
