What's with Hoods on Jackets?

Jump to new
The origin of hoody culture is in the UK, because they rely on millions of surveillance cameras to do their police work, its important if you're bad to wear a hoody so no one can ID you on camera. And its important if you're not bad to wear a hoody so no one can tell you're not.

Other than that, yeh its just a direct stopy or styled influence, but that's where it comes from.
 
Another way to get around the CCTV I guess - is we could all wear burqas - or nuns headdress? ;)

Meanwhile, try wearing a balaklava or a bike helmet into a bank - see how far you get :2twocents

PS How do you solve a problem like Mario ?
lol - If I was a bank teller, and that bloke appeared, I'd press the red button straight away. :eek:

Interesting confluence of events: bit of a cold snap in Sydney co-inciding with Fashion Week.

Thus, this evening I have mostly been wearing a wooly green jumper and purple beanie.

Shopping Center in Tweed Heads has joined the "Ban the Hoodie" crowd.

Rightly so, they are all crminials :)

A SHOPPING centre has banned hooded sweatshirts and hats to prevent young criminals using them to hide their identities from security cameras.

Signs have been in place at Tweed City shopping centre for the past three weeks warning that "hoodies" and hats will be banned after 6pm on Thursdays.

Centre management said the trial ban on headwear was prompted by friction between security guards and local youths.

And there was the predictable flurry of cries of discrimination against a particular style of clothing. The shopping centre management explained that these kids were using the hoods pulled over their faces to avoid being recognised on the CCTV cameras in order not to be caught for their shoplifting and vandalism.
