Wales Dragon Football Style Yellow Bucket Hat [wa168]

Product Information

The red, yellow and green bucket hat has become synonymous with Welsh football culture, injecting a dash of colour and brightness to the stands.

Obviously it helps that the country has a talented generation of footballers, but there’s been a cultural shift, too, a sense of Welsh football finding itself.

Doha is set to become a hub for Wales football fans with a luxury hotel in the capital set to become an unofficial base for 1,200 fans by hosting several pre and post-match parties.

Julia Ford, Ash Grove and Rosa Grove: ‘The hat represents being a part of the group, like England have the Three Lions. Spirit of ’58 sells other bucket hats that support the Welsh team if you cannot wait to don this iconic headwear, alongside other clothing items such as T-shirts, scarves and sweatshirts. The Welsh FA protested to Uefa, but the result was not overturned and so a new age of Wales supporters had their defining moment of pain. Stacey, 37, Celt, 10, Fflur, 12, and Ceri Adams-Lewis, 45: ‘Going to a Wales game without the hat doesn’t feel right.In the run-up to Wales' first appearance at a World Cup in 64 years, a number of large-scale models of bucket hats were erected around the country to ramp up support for Wales and excitement for the tournament. Sales for the must-have item sky-rocketed during Wales' Euro 2016 journey, which saw them reach the semi-finals before losing to eventual winners Portugal. Ahead of the tournament's official kick-off this Sunday, when Qatar face Ecuador, the country's capital city has seen a giant bucket hat – part of Wales football fans' unofficial uniform – spring up near the Museum of Islamic Art where other countries will also be displaying their own art installations. The only reason I know I watched Wales lose 0-1 to Georgia in 1995 was that, when I came to school the next day, my friends said they had seen me on TV.
