Fa1833 441 Posted yesterday at 17:28 Share Posted yesterday at 17:28 I seen a few retro’s today also, I didn’t see the blown up sheep yet I heard a few Baaaaaaa’s . Plus I seen the knob in the red Aberdeen bucket hat adopting the red billy Connelly beard 🤣 I also noticed the fans being less enthusiastic in which the players certainly felt. To little to late let’s hope next season is better that this dismal season. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fa1833 441 Posted 23 hours ago Share Posted 23 hours ago (edited) I think the term is called Bloke core 😂 It has become a men’s fashion trend apparently when at games as well as also those ridiculous boat shoes and Robin Hood jean's. Here was me thinking it was a nod to past times/ players who graced our pitch bringing us trophies etc. Bloke Core: The "bloke core" trend is a fashion aesthetic that blends everyday casual wear with a distinct football (soccer) inspired style. It essentially involves taking traditionally masculine, unpretentious clothing often associated with British "blokes" (an informal term for men) and incorporating football jerseys, classic sneakers, and comfortable sportswear into everyday outfits. Key Characteristics: * Football Jerseys: These are central to the look, often vintage or retro shirts, but can also be current season jerseys. The focus is often on UK club teams. * Casual Bottoms: Jeans (often straight-leg or slightly distressed), chinos, track pants, or shorts are common pairings. * Classic Sneakers: Iconic trainers from brands like Adidas (Sambas, Gazelles, Spezial), Nike, Converse, or Puma are frequently worn. * Comfort and Functionality: The emphasis is on comfortable, practical clothing rather than high fashion or overly stylized looks. * Nostalgia: There's often a nostalgic element, referencing the football culture of the late 20th century. * "Effortlessly Cool" Vibe: The aim is to look stylish without appearing to have tried too hard. * Optional Accessories: Baseball caps, scarves (especially team-related), and even retro track jackets can be incorporated. Origins and History: * Believed to have originated as a playful observation by American TikToker Brandon Huntley in late 2021/early 2022. * Draws influence from the British "casual" subculture of the late 1970s and 1980s. * Gained significant traction on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram. In essence, bloke core is a revival and reinterpretation of classic football fan style for a contemporary audience, emphasizing comfort, nostalgia, and a seemingly effortless sense of cool.

I personally wouldn’t be seen dead in them but seen a few Robin hoods in Glasgow last week with the classic boat shoes.
