That's an interesting point, as I don't know any sports photographers.

My wife is a photographer. My brother-in-law is a photographer. I have several friends who are photographers. I have never seen a photographer wear a "photographer's vest". I wonder what kind of photographers wear vests.

There are certainly groups or sets of people who look perfectly normal in a vest, even around Austin.

Like, Kinky Friedman

no really I am kidding. There are some folks who look pretty normal in a vest and will not attract any extra attention at all.

However for many people, the addition of a vest to their wardrobe would mean instant-dork-status. For me it would, and would invite all kinds of questions about whether I have a stain to cover up on my shirt or maybe I am out of laundry.

Glad you said it thought.

I am going to remain clear of the "fashion vs. CCW" debate.

Bear in mind however, that by looking like a "plain ol' dork" you may be drawing extra attention to yourself. I guarantee all people I ever interact with would know something was up if I was wearing a fanny pack or a vest. I would attract a lot of attention with people constantly asking me "so what's up with the ..." referring to whatever weird clothes or accessories I was wearing. I might as well wear a clown wig or a storm trooper costume.

Now if you normally look like a "plain ol' dork" I presume you won't have this problem
