They may intimidate you, but then so might hordes of chavs wearing burberry. You're not intimidated by them because of what they're wearing, you're intimidated because you associate, and maybe quite rightly, what they're wearing with the kind of people they are.
Their clothing isn't really that relevent.
The thuggish chavs chosen atire could be a leatard and tutu for all it matters. If you got assaulted by a chav wearing a skimpy pink gettup every time you saw one, you'd begin to make the associate anyone wearing that with a trouble instead, and you'd be here demanding the banning of balerina lookalikes.
A rediculously over the top example, but I'm sure my point's been illustrated - ban hoodies and they'll just conform to wearing some other peice of iconic clothing and we'll be back where we started.
