Magazine Covers: Bandy

Swedish magazine Rekord from 1957

"A
"bandy briefcase" is the classic accessory for spectating - it is typically made of brown leather, well worn and contain a warm drink in a thermos and/or a bottle of liquor. Bandy is most often played at outdoor arenas during winter time, so the need for spectators to carry flask or thermoses of 'warming' liquid is a natural effect."

MrJ knows everything worth knowing about bandy, it isn't much and he only knows it in Swedish.
