Guest WillsbridgeRed Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 I think my picture must be held by every police authority in England and wales. My Crime? To wear Stone Island! The reason they take pictures is so they have a record of peoples movements on the day, and if they are involved in trouble the police have a good record of their movements.

PhatWill Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 I think my picture must be held by every police authority in England and wales. My Crime? To wear Stone Island! While I do sympathise with what you say, I think we've all been pictured/video taped many times at football grounds up and down the country...wearing Stone Island is asking for suspicion to be put on you. I normally dress casually for football games and thats bad enough, but i've never considered wearing my Burberry cap to any football match! Infact with the tarnished image Burberry now have, I rarely wear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WillsbridgeRed Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 I don't wear burberry anymore, too many young kids have it and it's no longer exclusive. I used to be well chuffed with it though, wearing it nearly everywhere I went! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on then lads, whats the worst thing that you've warn to football cos it was fasion? A trip to Whorefield and a review of the prefered fashion statement of your average Gas Head has always been a particular joy. Ah it takes me back...... Donkey Jackets-Black Hairy Jackets with an option of Black Plastic patches on the back and elbows.If you were really lucky the name Wimpey or McAlpine on the back in White or a natty yellow.Three Button Front-Guaranteed to make you look a *******! Patch Pocket Trousers.The Pockets started at knee level and a 96 button waist,ideal for everything apart from having a pi$$ or a (I said a naughty word)! Platform shoes & Doc Martens.. Standing barefoot on the terraces when the old bill came up with the idea of removing steel toe caps........... and anything remotely similar-I never ever got pulled for my steel toe capped toe 'tectors though.

Never to the dark side Posted January 13, 2004 Author Share Posted January 13, 2004 I thought I looked brilliant walking down Ilminster Avenue, West Knowle.

TinnionForEngland Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Personally i think it's a disgrace to be judged on what you wear to a football match. I wear burberry jeans, but would never consider wearing the hat - Fighting wont take place because of your clothes, it will take place because of who you are, i watched a video online not long ago, 40 or 50 hooligans gearing up for a fight, just 3 had burberry on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
