There ARE other teams(we'd have no-one to play otherwise) and here's where all-comers can discuss the wider world of football......

Displaying scarfs

Post by General Mannerheim » Tue Feb 26, 2008 12:37 pm

Everywhere ive been in Europe I have picked up a scarf off one of the home fans, I have 6 so far, and will get one in Lisbon.

Doubt I’ll get an opportunity to collect many more after this season, so what im thinking is I should maybe display them somehow in my house? otherwise they will just end up in the loft.

Has anyone seen or know of any method for tastefully displaying footy scarfs? rather than just pinning them up, or hanging them off summat, i want them to look good - Ive tried googling it but no joy. I was thinking maybe a nice row of narrow shelves with one folded up on each? Or some kind of big glass frame, just don’t know – Any ideas???

you could get them stitched together like a big blanket and hang it from the cieling like some sort of footballing tapestry

I'd go with the frame route, With the shirt of that season being in the centre aith the scarves around it, somthing like that..

Would your usual method of scarf displaying prove a bit too expensive on a full-time basis?

:D and it would cost a fortune in air fresheners!

Liking that thing tango posted, could be just the job. like the blanket idea too, like a posh tapestry or summat!

A frame would be tough, esp as you would have to have them folded within, you would need some mean ass frame!?
