Since at least the early 1900s, when the phenomenon began in Britain, coloured scarves have been traditional supporter wear for fans of football teams across the world, even those in warmer climates.
Despite becoming unfashionable with the introduction of the casual look that abandoned all display of team allegiance, the humble woolen scarf had it’s certain advantages. I remember many a bleak, cold, wet winters Friday night watching Tranmere, frozen to the toes, Wagon Wheel and OXO at hand and continually adjusting the scarf round the neck to try to keep out the chill winter.
The Football Scarf hanging out of the windows of cars racing up and down the M6 or M1 triggered a game of spot the club, a check of the fixtures to reveal where they were traveling, and judging your own turn-out by the number of your own scarves. Anything to pass away a boring drive.
I think it was the continental fans that started that annoying trend of massive scarves, like the huge flags they display still. How annoying would that be standing behind trying to watch the game? European games however started the trend of swapping scarves with opposition fans, never be seen with another clubs scarf in Britain under any circumstance, but foreign scarf gave you that smug knowledge that people knew you been to the away game.
The naffest fashion, I suppose was the scarf tied around the wrist and left to hang down and the most annoying scarf lovers, the old ladies who sat at the half way line at a ground I won’t mention, knitting scarves and not watching the game.
But all is not lost, is the retro scarf the Football Fashion of 2012?
Roberto Mancini, in typical Italian style (he is Italian isn’t he?) is helping make a comeback for the humble scarf. Never without one, even on a hot day by the looks of it and an expensive designer make to be sure!
