Gang Mentality Through Sports Logo Apparel
It should be noted that gang
members often wear clothing that is currently popular among juveniles in
general. The wearing of the clothing that is described in this section
does not automatically make that person a gang member. However, a
combination of the clothing worn, along with a certain color scheme or the
manner in which the clothing is worn can indicate membership in a gang. As gang
members find out what clothing is becoming too noticeable to people, they may
change what they wear. What is fashionable today, may not be tomorrow and gang
members like to be fashionable.
Professional and college
sports teams clothing worn by street gangs. The following information is an
indicator as to how many gang members are using popular sports clothing to
represent their individual gangs. Both professional and college teams are
represented. It should be noted that the sporting of clothing does not always
signify gang affiliation. This list was compiled to make the reader aware of
possible gang involvement. It should also be noted that street gangs have become
aware of the fact that law enforcement uses the wearing of colors as an
indicator of gang involvement.
