Why do Scandinavian people wear helmets with horns on them?
Why do Scandinavian people wear helmets with horns on them? I know that they are pretending to be Vikings, but why?
What does fairytale creatures have to do with sporting events?
They are called Viking helmets — a stereotypical depiction of what helmets of the Viking era looked like. They wear them because it’s a fun thing to do. It’s the same thing as when Afghani sports fans wear freshly skinned dog carcasses on their heads… The headwear is worn in good fun!
You are not the hottest sheep in the herd, are you? Vikings were not fairytale creatures…
The term “Vikings” is normally used to identify people who lived in Scandinavia in medieval times. They were most famous for raiding, pillaging and raping their way through the world.
The were also great traders (I assume carrying a big axe or a broad sword helped when bargaining).
