    Gangs primarily sell drugs, so maybe figure that out before pining for Fallujah.

    Why would you go to a bar/club/dance place wearing Texans/Astros/Rockets/Dynamo or any other SPORTS logo? That's what you get. If the public event or public gathering or is not about that team or that sport, in particular, don't wear that team's insignia/logo/mascot... that's easy... besides a classless act, it's just silly. :eek:

    Also, I shake my head at people who wear other team's logos and jerseys other than the ones playing at the place... like people who wear Barcelona or Mexico jerseys to the Dynamo game. Jeez. :rolleyes: They're not playing.

    FYI, the gang or whoever they're trying to ban ISN'T "misusing" the logo.

    1983 -- The Year the Smurfs Attacked.

    It all started in Houston. Newsweek picked up the story, and even Snopes created an Urban Legend entry.

    So did it really happen.

    btw: there's also talk of Oompa Loompas in England.

    Houstone / Tango wear both. Plus the city of Houston skyline stickers on their cars. I thought everyone knew this. I mean who doesn't watch Gangland?

    UFC fights at sports bars are the worst. I brings in the most stupid, violent people in the area. You could be in the Southwest side or you could be in Pearland and you get the same type of Neanderthals. I tried 2 a Days once on a fight night and there were white guys with tats and affliction shirts everywhere trying to start fights.

    It's a sport that attracts thugs.

    I actually like how the logo looks. The Texans logo as the base, with the Rockets logo as the red horn. Sometimes you see the Astros "H" star over the Texans star.

    That is ok, most girls don't have those logos, so there will be more of them for the guys that aren't repping.

    Can anyone post a picture of the Texans/Rockets/Astros logo? I've seen some on people's cars that look like a mix of all three logos but didn't know that was a gang sign

    Texans should go after the gangs for copyright infringement. That'll show 'em!

    I remember the Smurg gang thing from elementary school. I was at Aldine ISD (Sammons Elementary) in north Houston. They definitely did it when I was in 2nd grade which would have been the 1982-83 school year, but I think they did this a couple school years. The teachers handed out notices on little slips of paper warning about gang activity by a gang called the Smurfs who were seeking revenge after the death of their leader Papa Smurf. I was worried. When I was a bit older I realized that was a really ****ed-up thing for teachers to do. Kinda like the training we got to not pick up guns if we happen to find one discarded at the playground. Or the visit to the police station where they told us all the street names for cocaine in its different forms. Gangs were big news in the early 80s, but that was messed up. But I've always wondered if that Smurf memory was a false one, or too twisted up since I was so young at the time.

    I never get this "rule" and why people are bothered by this. In this case, it was just a hat. A hat. Does he need a seperate MMA hat to wear to watch fights Thats silly.

    Grown men caring way too much and being bothered about what others are wearing, while telling them fashion do's and don'ts. LOL

    If some douche wants to wear an affliction shirt, with a dynamo hat and Rockets shorts to a bar, whats it matter to you?

    You should reconsider your very existence.

    :grin: OK.
    You make a good point, but now there is an association between that team's logo and a gang, at a public place that has nothing to do with that team's logo. :eek:
