Casual (subculture)

This article is about the hooligan subculture. For the style of clothing, see Casual attire. For the football club, see Casuals F.C. For the band, see The Casuals.

The casual subculture is a subsection of football culture that is typified by hooliganism and the wearing of expensive designer clothing[1][2][3][4][5] (known as "clobber"). The subculture originated in the United Kingdom in the early 1980s when many hooligans started wearing designer clothing labels and expensive sportswear such as Stone Island, CP Company, Lyle & Scott, Lacoste, Sergio Tacchini, Fila, Hackett, ellesse, Napapijri, Burberry, Gallini, Gabicci, Lois, Diadora, & Fred Perry in order to avoid the attention of police and to intimidate rivals.[citation needed] They did not wear club colours, so it was easier to infiltrate rival groups and to enter pubs. Some casuals have worn clothing items similar to those worn by mods.[citation needed] Casuals have been portrayed in films and television programmes such as ID, The Firm, The Football Factory, and Green Street.[citation needed] The documentary Casuals: The Story of the Legendary Terrace Fashion featuring Pat Nevin, Peter Hooton and Gary Bushell amongst others is about the fashion that started in the late 70s and into the 1980s.[6][7]
