If I wear "Competition Only Gear" as conceal carry then it is no longer "Competition Only" right?

Nope. If it's been ruled competition only, then it doesn't matter what you do with it. The ruling stands.

A buddy was going to wear cleats every day for a year, in preparation of our local sanctioned match. That's not how it works.

I was thinking of wearing the really good CR Speed Belt on a day to day basis, but I doubt that's gonna change the IDPA rules :)

One of our local (in the same club as RickB and I) shooter's/SO's daily carry gun is, or at least certainly has been in the past, literally a .38 Super compgun (a Hybridized Para rechambered for .38 Super). That doesn't make it legal, and he doesn't expect it to.
Pride and fear are emotions, which hope for an outcome. Outcomes take your attention from the present, where the shooting happens, to the future. It is totally impossible to do anything in the future, because it hasn't happened yet. The key to shooting your best is to be present as the witness of the shooting. Do not judge, do not give yourself anything to live up to. We can only shoot as well as we have trained ourselves to shoot. To try to shoot only induces stress. Be content with your current ability. And accumulate practice to improve that ability. Consolidate, build strength where you feel weakness. We cannot raise our ability until we accept our current limitations. Practice dissolves limitations. Matches simply define where the current limits exist. The game of shooting is all about redefining our limits.

I own one, and it is certainly competition only. It doesn't leave my range bag. They may be other people in the world not as stylish as me though :)

The palm in the chest pocket looks to be the same model that we use for scoring.
