That's taking niche to a whole new level

Asking for trouble imo. What sort of protection is a bit of cloth going to give ?
😆 very sharp scaredypants 😆
"But skulls, Hans? ... [i]skulls[/i]?"
SS (SINGLE SPEEDER)
But skulls, Hans? ... skulls?"
Nods at the reference and chuckles
Do they do ones with rats?
Not in Sheffield was he? One of the local 'characters' used to wander around in one of those...

Going to have to change your user name, razor something or other! 😆
Not sure, but that looks like an Afrika Corps hat. A bit more stylin' than a baseball hat, but not too protective, other than keeping rain off, and sun out of your eyes. I rather like the skull design, as it happens.
That badge is from a particularly nasty bunch called the Tottenkopfs (translation death heads) which is more commonly known as the SS, some Panzer divisions also used the insignia. Either way, not a badge I would want to be associated with, because a lot of them were responsible for running the gas chambers in the concentration camps.
I don't care about the protection it offers or lack of, it's what the symbols now sadly represent.

I think I'd have to do something to the wearer if they passed me.
Edit: show his face redthunder, let's see him
careful, they'll be annexing somewhere tomorrow
Could the wearer have been oblivious? If I'd not seen the other badge, I would not have known what it was/from.
Could the wearer have been oblivious?"
I will not reveal the person as he may just be a bit naive and blissful unaware of the insignia on the cap and it's associated connotations.
However, the Iron Cross around his neck.......I'll get my coat.
Confirmed for dickhead then. Ho hum....
We had the EDL here last week. Some sources claim it cost up to £800k to Police. I asked a few EDL supporters on Facebook whether, as they were some concerned about the damage being done to Bradford "these days etc etc" they would be footing the bill.
Not a lot of answers to that question.
My other favorite is to direct them to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasions_of_the_British_Isles
and suggest they read*-up on their ancestry and then "**** off where they came from" [as they suggest others do] lest they make themselves hypocrites.
That usually shuts them up too
Canutes, the lot of 'em.
*read, lol
Wearing an Iron cross as well as the hat ?
Wearing a full uniform ? or just the hat and Iron cross.
Didn't Prince Harry have a moment in so called fancy dress not so many years ago...red armband, the works.
Could be a yoof who knows nothing of the symbol's and meaning, or is there a tribute band to the Sex Pistols playing.
Was it prince Harry?
Edit - Ah, Acehtn mentioned the good prince while I was reading...
He was wearing the hat only.
And regular going to work clothing.
Would bet a hipster then, sporting Hugo's retro fashion winter range.
Most likely has no clue to what he is wearing.
