Default Scarves

Who collects these? I picked up a bunch to trade or give away to friends each time I go to Spain and have built up quite a collection when friends go places. I've got scarves from Turkey, England, Italy, Spain, Scotland and one from Poland. I've got Real Madrid and Liverpool displayed in my office. People ask about them all the time. Never really started out trying to collect these, they are great souvenirs to bring home from soccer excursions.

I unfortunately have a limited collection.

I have my DCU one hanging in my office. I also have scarves from the Mutiny, Fusion, and Crew.

From overseas I have a ManUTD and England scarve but that is about it.

I collect them. I have close to a hundred hanging on the walls of my family room and front hall.

I started out by draping them on my corner cube at work, but I had to take them home when I moved to a new building and only had 4 feet of exterior cube wall.

The secret to hanging them en masse is to put two small binder clips over on one end. Run picture wire about an inch from the top of the wall from one side of the room to the other, then put the back tab of the clip over the wire. Overlap the scarves, and voila!

If you are interested in trading/divesting, let me know.

A niche collection.

Besides the Earthquakes, also have the Crew and DC United. I would like to get the two sided version of both.

I got a PSG and Man Ure scarf that my former co-workers/buddies got for me while they were on vacation.

I tack them as if they were posters. It does account for a share of holes in the wall, but it looks good.

Cheers!

Me too.

Right now it's Washington and Boston that have scarves. I would like to see the rest of the teams with them.
