I have been thinking about this for a while, There is all kinds of regional diffrences such as how we speak etc...but in terms of football and clothes i am aware that there was diffrences back in the early days of the subculture there was such as liverpool and merseyside had the wedge first while evryone else was stuck in the "bootboys" culture still ( cropped hair,doc martins,bombers etc...) and that liverpool where the first to a degree to set off the casual subculture. Brands such as fila etc. Where as down south clubs such as west ham where very burberry orintated ( so a blackburn friend of mine said *insert a winkey thing here* and that the yorkshire and lancashire based clubs where known as wooleybacks because of thick wool jumpers.
This was back in the days when the culture was a thing to be part off ( it still is but not to a certain degree as it used to be) and personaly i think that regional diffrences arnt arround much any more and that to a certain extent there is none but there in the subculture its self .
The people who are more clued up in the culture know what makes may break through in the next year or so or a certain label that is that extra bit special and is relictant to share that little bit of infomation. But within the culture its self there is divides. There is the "very" clued up who have been in it for years and are full of infomation about the old days. The clued up who know about the scene and labels and a wee bit of infomation then there are the down right fucking clueless who think location,goigoi are casual and that if you strap on a fake stone island jacket from cheetham hill you are a "casual"...
