In California,if you live on the ghetto side of town and there's a lot gangs activities going, the best colors to stay away from are red and blue. These two are the most well known associated with gangs. You won't have problems if you wear grey,white or black street wear. Don't wear bandanas in the ghetto, regardless of what color , you'll look suspicious of being gang related.Anyway,here's the list of colors gangs wear in California.
1.Crips - Main color is Blue
2.Bloods - Main color is Red (or burgundy if they are Piru)
3.Green - certain gangs identified with Parks or certain cities - Gardena Shotgun Crips or Lincoln Park Bloods (San Diego)
4.Purple - Grape Street Watts Crips (L.A.)
5.Brown - Fudgetown Crips (Compton)
6.Orange - Hoover Criminals (South Central Los Angeles)
7.Surenos (Mexicans - Southern Cali) - Blue
8.Nortenos (Mexicans - Northern Cali) - Red

ReplyDeleteHandkerchief code or hanky code (also known as bandana code and flagging) is a way of indicating, usually among gay male casual sex-seekers or BDSM practitioners in the leather subculture in the United States, Canada and Europe, whether they are a top or bottom, and what kind of sex they are seeking, by wearing cotton color-coded handkerchiefs (bandanas), usually in the back pocket or around the belt loop. Hanky code was widely used in the 1970s as a gay code, however nowadays it is also used by many bisexual, pansexual, and queer people.
Today the bandanas are worn almost exclusively in the rear trouser pocket or tied around the belt loop. The left side of the body for tops and on the right for bottoms; just as tops wear their keys on the left belt loop and bottoms on the right. In the past bandanas might be worn tied around the neck (with the knot positioned on either the left or right side) around the ankle (when wearing boots or when undressed) or on other parts of the body.
There is no universally understood color code, and regional codes vary widely. There is general agreement upon the colors for more common practices, particularly those with an intuitive relation between the color and the practice, such as yellow for pee brown for turd and black for SM, but no absolute consensus for more common practices.
