Snoods - the beloved neck warmers of precious and pampered footballers - have been banned by the International FA Board.
Initially made famous by a contingent of Manchester City players, including forward Carlos Tevez, snoods have become popular across the country and in all forms of the game.
But Tevez and company will now have do without the popular fashion accessory.
"The IFAB agreed that in relation to Law 4 - Players' Equipment, the wearing of snoods should not be permitted," said football's law makers.
In February, former England captain and current Notts County manager Paul Ince condemned Premier League footballers who wear snoods
"I'm sick and tired of seeing players, even when it's mild weather, wearing tights and these things [snoods] around their necks. It's not right," Ince told BBC Sport.

be banned.
They could you grabbed and would be dangerous. I watched several fairly aggressive interactions this weekend and I also watched several occasions where a player was dragged to the ground by his clothing....... surely a quick yank on a snood from behind would floor an opponent when the ref isn't looking and COULD be catastrophic for the player concerned.
It seems sensible to ban them to me.
