The Culture of Soccer Scarves
The start of soccer scarves began in the United Kingdom in the early 1900s. At this time, spectators dressed very differently to attend games than we do today. Usually, they would wear formal, monochromatic clothes and fans would spruce up their outfits with scarves. Since soccer was usually played in colder months, these scarves helped to keep fans warm—but, these scarves also served another purpose. Since jerseys weren't popularly worn yet, fans would choose scarves featuring the colors of their favorite team. This way, everyone would know who they were rooting for. The popularity of the club scarf grew over time. Today you’ll see scarves widespread in the fan sections of all professional soccer team around the world. Learn More >>
