Do half-and-half scarves have a purpose?

The half-and-half football scarf can be quite a divisive topic within the football community. But does it have a purpose?

Football scarves are considered a key part of a football fans attire, especially during the winter months. You can find them in the club shop and often just outside football grounds on a match day. But if you were after one of the unofficial half-and-half scarves, you would have to purchase one from an independent trader before arriving at the ground.

In the audio piece below I discuss the potential purpose of these products. Including the idea of these scarves being used as souvenirs.
