Wales bucket hat

Wales football fans wearing bucket hats

The Wales bucket hat (Welsh: het bwced Cymru)[1] is a colourful bucket hat worn by supporters particularly of the Wales national football team.[2] The hat was originally red, yellow and green, designed by Spirit of '58. It initially gained wide popularity during Wales's participation in the UEFA Euro 2016 championships.[3] Other designs of the bucket hat have subsequently become available. Giant versions of the bucket hats were placed in city centres around Wales during the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
