I always thought this was a woman's fashion from the second world war era.
Now it seems those footballers scarves/polo necks are known as snoods.
What is the world coming to? I blame all those foreign jessies; but our own players are getting just as bad. Too much money and freedom. Time for players to be treated like serfs again; with good managers in total control of their lives.

Are they trad?
Might be able to sell old ones to netgents...
There was a time when fitballers were considered good enough for egg and chips in a restaurant. Nancy boys most of 'em, couldn't cut the mustard with the Ollie Reed rugby lads.
I have seen a few men who wear snoods and I think that they look alright. However, the thought that this type of accessory is originally worn by women makes me avoid wearing them.
