Sadly, every bad ass wears KC hats in my town. Which is suppose stand for Kern County. I've seen several KC tattoo's as well. This has been going for the past two year.

Pretty sure Cowboys hats should be on that list.

Royals hats have to be just outside the top ten.

Snap backs and tattoos all that cuz cash rules

No. Just cuz I look like a gangbanger don't mean I is.

Raftin' and ballin' - represent!

I am glad the bloods didn't latch on to Chiefs gear.


Maybe the mustard color turned them off.

the cap also must be flat billed or you a fake ass gangsta

Luckily this one didn't catch on. I noticed a guy in the comments said the blue KC hat stood for "Kitchen Crips" in some gangs. Those guys in the comments are reeruned btw.

When I owned my sporting apparel store at Bannister Mall I sold all the hats to bangers. Different colors of KC Royals, Chiefs and others. My most popular hat of all was the Blue Chiefs hat.

That's what speed do

No pirates or phillies hats. .no duke or north Carolina gear either? ..Yankees..mets...white sox...kswiss..astros and donks.

That red KC hat made me a lot of money for 5 year stretch.

How the hell is KC not on this list?

I remember being 14 and meeting some bloods, they quickly informed me what my favorite team represents.

K.C

Kill a Crab
Kill a Crypt

ROFL ROFL ROFL

Damn that's a nice cap!

I also sold a shitload of the Blue Cincinnati reds hats.

lol could only imagine why.

Ironic no Washington Bullets on there.

Haha. Yep. I did everything in different colors. Red Duke Blue devils, red colts hats, blue Indians hats, red Patriots hats, every color of Royals, several colors of Chiefs, blue Bulls, Red Missouri and Blue Missouri hats.

Pirates and Pilllies = Piru
Duke = 74-14
North Carolina = NHC ( Neighborhood Hood Crips)
Yankee = Nutty Blocc Crips
Astros and Donks = Hoover Criminals
KSWISS & White Sox = All Crips
Texas Rangers "T"= Treys
Washington "W" baseball = Wes side Piru

Hey the Tigers made the list. Even gang bangers know when you're sporting the Olde English D you're stylin'. Just ask Magnum P.I. or me.

No wonder we sold those UNC hats like crazy, sold them with UNC #12 football jersey.

True story. I was in Bakersfield once and was wearing my Royals hat. I was approached by two dudes who asked me how long I'd been in the kitchen crips. Being a 37 year old white dude I literally laughed in their faces and had to explain to them that it was a legitimate sports hat. I haven't worn my royals hat in Bakersfield since.

Yet another reason to never go to Bakersfield under any circumstances.

Yep, that's my gangster hometown. It's pretty damn funny, not sure who you ran into, but the majority of them are Mexican Americans (I guess that's appropriate) and weigh around 160 haha. So frightening

the red Washington Nationals hat is huge in nor cal.

Nationals werent around when i was a youngster, but if they were, best believe id own that hat. lol

What? No Winnipeg Jets?

Yup I said Dodgers before I opened this thread.

I like to keep it old school when i thug out. Washington Bullets flat billed

I see your Winnipeg jets and raise you a San Jose Sharks!

AAAAAAAAHHH YEEEEEEAAAAH. RED AND YELLOW RED AND YELLOW.

Some of the stuff in this article is just dumb.

It says on the Astro's hat that Folk Nation is represented by a 5 pointed star, thus they wear that hat. That's wrong.

If the Raiders cap isn't #1 on any list, there is something very wrong.

all the little crips wear royals hats on the LES of manhattan.

That's halfway correct. The five star looks like its broken in the astros design so GDs (7414) wear them. It's a sign of disrespect towards all nations who ride the five star and the left side. The star of David is the six point star. .folk nation rides the six peoples ( vice lords, CVL, four corner hustlers, travelers, and Latin Kings and Counts and any othe nation thats aligned with the five and peoples) ride the five. Chicago gangs are much more organized and structured than L.A based gangs. They have laws they follow "lit" ( by laws and gang history ) they have to memorize and know. They call themselves "nations" rather than gangs...know a few FORMER memebrs of bboth sides from the Chicago ..far more organized than you would think.

Besides owning Chiefs and Royals swag, I have caps from Nationals, Twins, White Sox and Colorado Rockies. The White Sox is a throwback to the 50's that says "Sox" on it.
Twins has the "M" not the "TC." I'd never wear anything Oakland, A's or Raiders. It would burn my skin.

One of my best friends in High School was a GD/Folk that had moved to small town Conway, AR from Chicago. He schooled me in quite a bit of the stuff. He had like 100 "rhymes" and shit that he had memorized that were related to the gang. He'd draw super intricate graffiti as well and "stack" like crazy.

And yeah, I figured the broken star thing, but the author specifically says that Folk nation represents a five pointed star, which is incorrect.

It's hilarious, because the resource officers at our school don't have a clue when it comes to gang shit. I'm constantly trying to explain the graffitti and such that I see around here, and they blow me off like I'm some dumbass white guy without a clue.

Minnesota Twins?

Most of the gang bangers in St. Joe wear a Barrel of Fun hat.

It's pretty impressive and sad if you think about it.All the effort and time it takes to memorize that much..wasted effort. It's all watered down now, but in the 80s and 90s it was serious business. I remember trying to explain to my dad why I couldn't wear the chiefs jersey he got me for Christmas. That wasn't happening in my neighborhood or around my group of childhood friends. Now i wear what ever color without a second thought about it.

Twins with the TC logo stand for Tongon Crips ..just the M stands for a blood gangs in L.A..can't remember the name though. Most any sports team hat has meaning to ot when worn by a gang member. I had the same issue as previous posters had when I wore my KC royals hat in South Central my buddy told me to take it off asap because it was gang affiliated. .ended up wearing KU gear the whole trip lol

I used to go to L.A often years ago. Most of this stuff I learned because my boy literally sent me a list of team logos not to wear lol. He wasn't a gang member but stayed in a Nutty Blocc Crip neighborhood off 166 in south central.

They can claim that. Bloods generally wore them. For killing crypts and crypts hated in every ****ing state.

For a period in the late 80s to mid 90s a KC hat in KCK was a no go..silliness.

Digging out my Bangin' on Wax cd right now.

Agreed.

I think they should sport prom sashes with their motto. To show how truly badass they are.

Lmao. I still listen to that. Piru love was banging. .couldn't really listen to it in your car though .too dangerous lol.

I just look for the reeruns with the big square looking ball caps.

:LOL: Yep, with the flat bills...All the little dipshits in Houston wear various colored Astros hats so they can "represent H-TOWN/ Folk Nation / or WTF " They look so reeruned...

yep; those are the ones.

I swear if there were people in rap videos riding unicycles and wearing foam oversized cowboy hats in rap videos, the streets would be crawing with people wearing them and riding them.

LOL! Yep....and their vote counts just as much as yours and mine. Something is not right with that...

Fashion choice doesn't determine your right to vote...that's pretty communist of you.

Crossin out everyone who ain't Damu ridin...
