Fan-fleecing goes upmarket with cashmere football scarves

Football scarves havve again become en vogue. Firstly, Newcastle's Mr Toad-like chairman, Freddy Shepherd, presented a black-and-white batch to the Geordie faithful in an 'Our team's shit, have some merchandise' gesture, with the Novocastrian shirtless hoardes adopting the Italian tradition of swirling them around en masse.
Then there's every Islamist worth his sacrificial salt running around west Baghdad with an RPG launcher on his shoulder and Arsenal, Liverpool or Manchester United colours wrapped around his head.
Now, clothing firm Savile Rogue has realised that if we watch games with rugs over our laps, M&S sandwiches in our pockets and ivory-handled rattles twirling round our heads, we might as well all have fancy neckwear to boot, rather than our usual pie-encrusted dish rags.
Billed as 'the world's most luxurious football scarves' these offerings are made from fine cashmere, making them soft, warm and easy to fold up and put in your pocket when the hot Bovril/lunchtime Ecstasy kicks in. Furthermore, there's no crest, so you can wear them when not involved in the swearing/stadium interface.
They're available in the colours of all Premiership, Championship, League 1 and League 2 sides, as well as Celtic, Rangers and some European clubs. Expect to see better-dressed insurgents over the coming year. £36 each; savile-rogue.com
