Using my 1993 Junior Golden Gloves Regional Champion Bag as a gym bag...

So, the topic pretty much says it all. The gym bag I used to use has officially died. I have a bag I got as a prize for winning the 1993 Junior Golden Gloves regionals that is the perfect size, but... one of my biggest pet peeves are the gym know-it-alls and I don't want to seem like I'm trying to one-up anyone or relive past glory, especially since it was so long ago and I was merely 13 years old.

One side has a picture of a boxing glove with USA ABF Boxing written above it, the other side has the same image and says 1993 Junior Golden Gloves - Regional Champion.

Lame? Acceptable?

totally acceptable... if they can't handle you having a bag that says you won some fights when you were 13... they have more issues than you care to deal with

Heh... it has more to do with me not wanting to having to lug them around with me anymore. I haven't had them "on display" since I lived with my parents, so they were in a box for like five years in the closet of wherever I was living. I had no use for them... you can't really argue with $300 and not having to find a place to put 40 cheesy plastic trophies.
