What are gang colors and gang signs?
Color refers to a gang member representing his/her membership by wearing a specific gang logo, particular colors of clothing, and a specific brand name of clothing or clothing worn in a predefined manner. This may also include hairstyles, jewelry, or even the way a person stands, walks or folds arms and hands. Colors identify the gang member and show member pride and affiliation. Hand signals and gang slang are a means of communication. Symbols formed and flashed with fingers, hands, and body have very specific meaning to the gang. The same goes for buzz words or phrases. Remember all of these may be area or geographic region specific and meanings may vary.
