Wow people have gone off topic on this.
Personally I see anyone over the age of 14 who wears a replica shirt as pretty pathetic to be honest. Never at any point in this thread have I insinuated that people who don't wear replicas are hoolies. I've said that THIS particular group on twitter are linking themselves to violence by using a Stone Island badge on their flag - something firms in the UK and abroad have done.
Not really O/T as I was replying to Empires point #55.
Is it really a Stone Island badge on the flag? it's not 100% its just a compass.
If this lot were calling themselves Brighton Youth Firm I could see your point, look at the twitter photos most are just about football.
Casual does not mean football hooligan some people just like the clothes.
