Whovian flirting question

Say there is a guy I'd like to attract the attention of. I know said guy is a big fan of a certain tv show, say Doctor Who, which I happen to love as well. Said guy has at least 2 UNIT costumes that he wears to Doctor Who conventions. I happen to have a UNIT tshirt that I think will look good come the next convention. Would it be too blatantly obvious if I were to put together a casual UNIT outfit for the pre-con dinner we'll both be attending? UNIT shirt, black skirt, silver leggings, red scarf.
Would the guy realize that I am choosing this outfit based on his UNIT appreciation? Do guys notice these kinds of things? It's not like I'm going full on UNIT cosplay, and it's just for that pre-con dinner. And 2 out of my 4 actual cosplays for the convention are of a character he doesn't really like.
I got married young (like early 20s) and now here I am approaching 33 and I don't know how to flirt. Plus, I have a pretty specific list of requirements for a potential spouse (muslim, geek, liberal at the top of the list), so it's not like I have a wide variety of choices. Ack, the problems of a shy muslim geek girl

Guys are not very subtle. Easier just to ask him out.0

He may notice the outfit, but he probably won't have any idea you chose the outfit for him. Wear it anyway, and then strike up conversation with him. It'll be your personality that really gets you noticed.0

t mimic him.. be original...0 -

Ah, if only it were that simple. Ok well it is that simple, but I'm too big of a chicken. 3 months to work up the courage

Guys like the attention. As long as you are not obnoxious about it he will probably appreciate it. The worst thing that will happen is that he is not interested.Ah, if only it were that simple. Ok well it is that simple, but I'm too big of a chicken. 3 months to work up the courage0

Unless said guy is reading this post he most likely wont make a connection, even then he may not. We're not always the sharpest tool in the shed us guys, especially when it comes to you ladies; we're more like a blunt object.
I'd say it's best just to come straight out and tell the young man how you feel, worst case he says he's not interested at least then you wont be putting yourself through all this torcher. Or he says that he feels the same way and you both become the best of companions, traveling through space and time together, enjoying each others company and warm embrace.

Well if all else fails, its a really cute outfit! Go for it just because you can rock the look, and if he is wearing one of his shirts, than strike up a conversation with him.0

You know how Clara and Danny are in the recent episodes? Stuttering and saying stupid things? That's basically me around boys I like. It's not pretty.0
