    we're talking about those?
    :confused:
    Is that the gang-related logo we are talking about? i thought we were talking about gang signs mixed with team logo.

    something like this

    Nope. It's the combo when the rockets logo in the second horn and the Astros star is an eye.

    I never knew it was even a rule. Is it like the thing that you aren't supposed to wear white shoes after Labor Day? Sounds like something New Englanders would try to tell me.

    So what? Should people just abandon everything that gangs decide to associate with? Some gangs rep Houston, so we should evacuate to Katy?

    I went to a bar once that had a rule against white shirts because some gang was wearing white t-shirts. My friend was wearing a white shirt -- long-sleeve but collarless -- so they wouldn't let him in with it. Its a business and they're just trying to avoid trouble and maximize profit. But how ridiculous this is, banning white shirts and hometown sports logos to keep patronage by gang members low profile.

    Why aren't teams ganging up on these gangs with massive trademark-copyright infringement and/or defamation lawsuits? Anyone else caught using unlicensed team logos for any purpose would be stoned to death with Cease and Desist orders.

    If I owned one of these teams, I'd hire the big bad RIAA lawyers and bankrupt any gang who dares infringe on my cartel-like control of my professional sports team. Send a message. Sure, y'all can try to steal my property, only it will cost you 100 cents on every dollar you have for the rest of your life. I will take food away from your children's mouth if it comes to that. Don't you dare me!

    They should send it to the gang's corporate headquarters.

    What's the name of the place that wouldn't let you in because of the Texans logo? "Playoffs"?

    After watching Gangland Tango Blast the Houstones wear them to represent their town and fly under the radar. If caught by the police they play stupid and say they are fans. To me it seems like a good way to get a innocent person hurt.

    It's silly to you but not to them. They will beat you down for wearing the wrong thing
