The Casuals Uniform
Casuals took cues from mod fashion and sportswear of the 80s and made it their own. Adidas, C.P. Company, Stone Island, Pringle, Fred Perry, Lacoste, Aquascutum, Ben Sherman and Sergio Tacchini became their uniform. It’s not just about what they were wearing but how they wore it, how they walked and their attitude that created an allure.
The Causals embedded a feeling into these brands, giving life to their product, something they could never have paid for nor orchestrate. The stamps refer to the Casuals’ uniform rather than glorifying hooliganism. The “tongue in cheek” remark from The Wealdstone Raider, “if you want some, I’ll give it ya” and “You’ve got no fans,” sums it up.
