What is the most 𝗜𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗜𝗖 accessory in the history of football?

The accessory sparking the most debates is undoubtedly the snood or stylish scarves, embraced by a diverse range of players from Samir Nasri to Gianluigi Buffon. Their popularity peaked at the beginning of the decade, yet traditional pundits raised objections, questioning their use by introducing a masculinity angle and asserting, “real men don’t wear snoods.” Manchester United even went as far as officially prohibiting the neckwear to demonstrate their stern stance. Eventually, the International Football Association Board (IFAB) banned players from donning this fashion accessory in the UK, citing additional concerns about potential injuries.
