Football scarves have been popular among fans of the sport since first appearing in the stadiums of England in the early 1900s. The trend spread quickly throughout the world and holding scarves up in support of their chosen club is now a tradition with many fans.
The faithful show their pride for the Mighty Glasgow Celtic in Parkhead
Fans of Aussie Rules Football also adopted scarves as part of their standard gear; and between the impassioned reputations of supporters from both sports, the footie scarf has come to represent a little bit of toughness and attitude.
So Official now offers a non-partisan way to cop the look. You can capture the aura of the footie scarf without having to worry about unexpectedly getting into it with a fan from an opposing club or having to deal with people like myself who expect you to be a die-hard if you’re wearing a scarf around town.
The scarves retail at $27.50 and come in a variety of colors.
So get a scarf from Official to keep you warm this winter- but maybe think of picking up something representing your country before World Cup next Summer. The US Men qualified earlier this week. Sorry, Canadian readers, we won’t be seeing you in South Africa for 2010; but hey- ice hockey scarves could be the next big thing.
