Iconography in football hooligan films

Iconography in a film is very important as it can give the audience an immediate understanding of the genre of the film. For a football hooligan film, a big part of iconography would be the clothing brands that these characters wear. These brands are of the following: Stone Island, Ralph Lauren, CP Company, Adidas Originals, Peaceful Hooligan, Pretty Green and The North Face. All the brands listed are as shown below.

Another big part of iconography within football hooligan films would be the football badges themselves of which these hooligans follow. Typically these football teams are within London because of the reputation that rivalries between London clubs get. A few of the typical teams that appear within football hooligan films are of the likes of: Chelsea, Millwall, West Ham and Tottenham. These badges are as shown below.

But because of the location of my own film, which is Sheffield, the two football badges to potentially be shown within my film will be of Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United. These two badges are as shown below.
