Burberry baseball caps on yobs?
The current Guardian Steve Bell cartoon is nominally about "yob" culture in the UK. One of the characters appears to be wearing a plaid baseball cap under his hood. Is this an accurate depiction of a clothing item such a hooligan might wear, in English usage?
Best regards,

- [/nq] Yes.
- At least, I don't think a real hooligan would wear one, but it is a current fashion for those variously called chavs, townies, pikies or scallies to wear Burberry, including Burberry caps: and to pull their hoods over the top of the cap.
