to buy a stone island jumper or a aquascutum or whatever its called coat is one thing. that's wearing designer clothes. if that was all it took to be a hooligan, the police would have closed kendals down ! having a certain attitude to go with that to go and want to carry out acts of hooliganism is completely another. just like all blokes with skinheads who have bought a Hackett shirt aren't all members of combat 18.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casual_(subculture) expensive designer clothing. Hooligans especially then wore certain types of clothes. Its not a sweeping generalisation. Maybe in todays game it might be a generalisation, but throughout the past 30 years what you wear has helped to define hooligans
btw im not saying everyone who wears deigner clothers is a hooligan :) just that it had a part to play
what defines a hooligan is their attitude to life, respect or lack or respect for other people / other human beings, their upbringing, family circumstances, lack of father figures, peer pressure, tempremant , lack of discipline and what actual acts of hooliganism they get caught up in...not what colour undies or socks they have on
And bra!;-)
