Zidane Head Butt Featured in new Italian Clothing Line
By: Bob | December 27th, 2006
Forget what the Chinese calendar says, 2006 was not the Year of the Dog it was the Year of the Head Butt. One brief play in one football match became the story of the year and the story that just won’t go away. As we put the finishing touches on 2006 and look ahead to the Year of the Pig (Ronaldo will likely thrive in 2007), we can do so wearing a new line of clothing inspired by the cranial activities of Zinedine Zidane.
Italian designer Alessandro Ferrari has come out with a new range of clothes called Xqua – which is a play on words for the expression ‘Porquoi Zidane’ uttered by a French commentator after the head butt heard around the world. The clothing features the head butt and a target symbol made up of the flags of Italy and France.
“The idea came to me on a wave of emotion after Italy won the World Cup,” Ferrari was quoted as saying by Italian news agency Fidest.
“After Zidane’s headbutt on Materazzi I thought of turning that unsavoury act into a positive social message aimed at the youngsters, and at the same time offering a trendy product of high quality.
In other words, he has found yet another way to exploit the story of 2006 and to keep it alive for 2007.
