Some fantastic generalisations on here, so if I’m over 40 I have to shop in Next or wear Rab or Montane like I’m attempting the North face of the Eiger. Yes there’s some idiots in the Stone island and CP crew but as another poster said if you have a decent job what’s the problem with buying decent clothing. Tbh some of the worse football violence I have seen was by replica kit wearing fans at Stoke away many many years ago so you just never know. Different times granted.


That's very "on trend" as North Face is suddenly a fashionable brand among the populace now I notice.

I do actually wear a lot of outdoor clothing, but that's because I spend a lot of time outdoors. Not quite climbing Eiger, but Dales, Lakes and Scotland hillwalking.

I'm happy with Berghaus and am currently wearing Craghoppers trousers as it's raining and I'm going out for a walk.

Look  at what Burberry did in the early 2000s after being associated with the chavs and hooligans.
They stopped selling their clothes in the small local independent dealers like Milan that was in Seaview street and only supplied through their own boutiques or High end department stores like Harrods and Harvey Nichols ect .
A Burberry T-Shirt now costs 400 quid we’re you could get one for 70 a few yards ago .

When you think that Stone Island probably costs less now than it did 30 years ago then you can see the quality of the clothing , the retailer and the customer has obviously dropped off

If you’re wondering where this “all hooligans wear x brand” chat ends up, see what happened to this Lincoln fan at the weekend -

The outdated, judgemental, holier-than-thou attitudes on here are used to reinforce restrictive and abusive policing practices used against ALL fans.

I would say fans being bell ends leads to restrictive and abusive policing practices rather than some people on a message board making assumptions about the casual culture/hooligans that has plagued football for years.

So are you saying it’s ok to stereotype anybody with designer clothing then ??

Interesting which type of people we can stereotype without a massive ( and correct ) backlash don’t you think ??


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

I find it funny that the same few people always seem to take issue with the way people talk about casual culture and the negatives that go along with that culture, rather than take issue with the drunken, coke snorting bell ends, that want to cause "bovva" and ruin it for the majority.

Outdoor gear like  Brasher, Craghoppers, Berghaus etc is all I seem to wear nowadays (well for the last 20 years to be precise)   it’s what clothes are intended for -  to keep you warm, dry and the wind off.


Grimsby and proud!

I have no problem with you calling out those people which you can actually  identify as being hooligans. I take offence that my 21year old son, currently serving with the RAF and far better behaved thanI was at his age, being labelled a ‘drunken, coke snorting, bell end because he chooses to  buy designer clothes !!
Have a go by all means. But make sure you’re having a go at those who deserve it !!
