I loved the wrist adorned items as a kid. Had a white Stoke one which I bought as an 8 or 9 year old a from a shop in Warrenpoint ...odd I remember that as was just baffled he had a Stoke one, and I wore it to every game until it cracked to bits and was just a load of lines . Anyone else have one or like to see them back or should they be left in the past with Rise and Shine, Arctic Roll and Rodney Bewes after his multiple deaths ?

Used to have a red one until as you say worn to bits, wear a scarf now in winter but it is to keep my neck warm not much else.

Used to see lads at Stoke with one on each arm. To be fair though, those jumpers with big waist bands and stars on were considered fashionable then by older kids as were 23 minute drum solos and riding a bike with no hands.

Had a great one until my mum decided to boil wash it. It then turned into a blurred pink mess. Gutted.

Looked classy with a crombie, not that I could afford one, the crombie not the scarf, harder to nick off your wrist! Yes, they were cool back then! Maybe cringe now!

So I take it a return of say Stoke themed Deely Boppers wouldn't be up your street? Think how they'd look with a Crombie before you immediately say no

Need to google Deely Boppers! It was denim or nothing back then and nothing wasn't an option! skip is right it did add a certain flamboyance to the hand signals, I'm in!

I had a red one - and a Levis jacket, and a Ben Sherman shirt. Should be made a compulsory dress code.

They used to sell crombies in the early editions of Smash Hits when it was more a New Wave magazine.
The thing was , it was a drawing of a fella wearing one with a speech bubble...'Good coats these'
I was only about 8 but often wondered if anyone ordered a coat on the basis of what was something the crap kid at art would draw for £20 or whatever it was then.

Hate to say would still fit. I remember one kid had a red one at school but I spotted a cream onr in a window aged about 13 and dragged my Dad into the shop. I think I still owe him about 18 car washes

Try Relco vintage clothing or strangely enough, the Harrington store! Lots of retro skin and mod clothing available on line or try the Trojan brand! I too think it should be compulsory to wear the right clothing and wear my oxblood docs as often as I can to give me a smug retro feeling

I had a cheap generic one a few years ago and it didn't sit right at all. This one (FP) is ten times better but admittedly three times the price.

A slower less vigorous one?

The fashion in the Boothen was really diverse from when I started going in there, mid seventies. There were rockers, skinheads, greebos, mods, blokes in white butchers coats, NCB jackets, others covered in slip, shirt, tie and jacket types and later punks! Can't remember any new romantics early eighties! 😄
Levi's jacket, nah, had to be Wrangler! 😉 Ox-blood doc's obviously, can't remember how many holes, 15, 17, 24? Took ages to get on and off and the blisters went right up from the back of your ankle to the top of the boot! 🤣
The scowl on our faces wasn't anger it was the pain of following fashion!

I’ve got a silky type scarf, it was my grandads so it must be 30 years old at least.
If there’s a collector out there who’d appreciate it more than welcome to it as it’s just sitting there.

I recall a silk scarf would more often than not be tied around the wrist rather than the neck? If you wanted to look hard anyway. Which most people did at that time.
Silk scarves came prior to the gentrification of football of course.

In the early 70s a Burnley fan at the school i went to stole 3 silk scarves from Stoke fans as they were easy to undo from wrists, he wanted £1 for the 3. The days of the Beehole end mainly occupied by a mix of home and away fans.
I already had one which i had worn at that match and thus declined the offer.

They gave you right of way way to the front of our school bus queue ...that and shoving the other kids out of the way. ...was a case of a red sea parting style queue when they wanted the bus.

Last time I did that was on the way to the the FA cup final v Man City. I got stopped by the motorway cops on the M6 and was ordered to to remove it. There were Man City fans in cars whizzing past me laughing, their scarves were hanging out of their BMW's, they never got stopped. Strange that.
