Yesterday Glee Scarf, Today World Cup Scarf!
Made from 100% acrylic with length of 56”, the ADIDAS WORLD CUP 2010 SCARF and the stadium horn “vuvuzela” are the must-haves for fans this summer in SOUTH AFRICA.
Speaking of which, what is VUVUZELA? Sometimes called a “lepatata”, Vuvuzela is a blowing horn, approximately one metre in length, commonly blown by fans at football matches in SOUTH AFRICA. It’s an idiosyncrasy of nationality which has become apparent at football matches as the samba drums in Brazil, the ringing of cow bells in Switzerland, or the Mexican wave.
Traditional football horn in South Africa - VUVUZELA
“Without the vuvuzela, I don’t think I would be able to enjoy football,” said Sadaam Maake, one of South African football’s celebrity followers. “It brings a special feeling to the stadiums. It is something that makes the fans want to get behind their team.”
Vuvuzela - the legendary horn
It requires some lip and lung strength to blow and emit a loud monotone like a foghorn or an elephant. Originally made from a kudu horn, VUVUZELA was used to summon people in gatherings in the ancient days. Over the last 15 years, the sight and sound of the instrument being blown at games has evolved into an emblem of hope and unity for many South Africans.
