    Is anybody else slightly/really disappointed that nobody wears fezzes anymore?

    It could have been our thing. Years from now when there's no Egyptians at the club, people would be like "Why do Hull City fans wear fezzes?"

    Somebody start it again.

    You can get them on Amazon but not in the correct colours. people from outside the city even now wouldn't know why we were wearing them. Wonder if the club shop could get a stock in of the correct colours

    That's probably the most positive response I've given to any of your postings TWF

    I think the fact that nobody knows why we wore them made it better in a way. It was our interesting little quirk, because if we're brutally honest, our fan base is a little boring...

    I agree that we should wear a fez.

    Not like that, like that...

    let's be honest Chazz we are all in decline once we get past 30, as by that point any dreams we had have been shattered into a million pieces. that's why we all (I mean the men) support a club, be it rugby league, cricket or football - as it is the only place where we can feel young and have impossible dreams which aren't laughed at by the usual suspects (the wife or girlfriend or both - if we are being greedy), like the club qualifying for Europe

    Isn't the Egyptian version a tarboosh? Fez being the Turkish name?

    I think some Egyptians, especially muslims, find it offensive, Nasser outlawed it as it symbolised the uncivilised man.

    I believe the modern fez is actually Moroccan, Muslims wrapped it in a turban and as you say, it was banned during the modernisation of Turkey(where I go and never see one) .

    This could be the reason - King Farouk, who was deposed by Muhammad Naguib

    I have a fez. It's in my van and is often used as a form of racing helmet.
    Hey!

    I'm happy!!!

    There must be something wrong with my browser as I appear to be reading posts from three years ago.

    The answer to the question I posed on here a few months back which did not elicit a response.

    " Which King predicted that in the future there would only be 5 Kings in the world. The King of clubs, the King of diamonds,the King of hearts, the King of spades and the King of England?"
