Two Teams on One Scarf? Many Fans Say, ‘No Way’

Some call them friendship scarves while others refer to them as half-and-halfs. Vendors have recently taken to marketing them as match-day scarves, while in Spanish they are labeled, more lyrically, bufandas con los dos escudos, or scarves with two shields.

Of course, these are the names that are printable.

Split scarves, or scarves that have the names and crests of both teams competing in a given soccer match, may be souvenir catnip for tourists, casual spectators and, occasionally, those who did not check their weather app and showed up underdressed on a frosty night.
