There's also a strong link between the Ravers and the Casuals. Although from what I have researched the main sportswear influence into the Rave scene came for the B-boy subculture, the strongest influence came from the football fans during that period.
Before the Liverpool fans introduced England to European fashion, people were still wearing platform boots, flares and shirts to football matches. This is why I chose the image above, cause it seams so ironic that those hooligans are beating up their opponent's fans when they're wearing those clothes. So while the Liverpool fans were following their team in across Europe they emptied the fashion stores, robbing as much as they possibly could.
When they returned they literally set the fashion for football fans, wearing expensive Italian and French sportswear labels such as; Lacoste, Sergio Tacchini, Fila and Adidas trainers.
