The bandana question

where did this tradition come from? and also, i saw kids wearing them just walkin around, not on the slopes, wats the deal with that? thanks for the help, im way confused.
 
-gay kids wear it on their back left pocket, (-the show 'rescue me')

-cool kids wear it on their belt loop

-gangsta kids wear it on their face like a cowboy
 
idk, i wear it on my belt loop when i'm skating with my friend. and then i only wear it on my face when i'm skiing so it doenst get cold/frozen from the blowing snow. ice coast represent.
 
What about those of us who never heard of the show "rescue me".

and "cool kids wear it on their belt loop" is definetly a quote worthy of the Tool of the Year award.
 
i was wearing mine the other day bank robber style becasue it was snowing like a mofo and i was booking it down a huge ass hill on my bike and it was like smoking my face...plus im a thuglin...BROOKLYN!
 
i use it to keep hair out of my face...like a headband, but a crocheted headband is too bulky to go under my helmet.
 
they originated in the 1960's, blacks took them up as gang symbols and skier take them up for practical use
 
Racist much. Blacks are not the only people who were in gangs. Whites, Blacks, Asians, Latin Americans....the list goes on...
 
I wear it around my head, headband style, my hat irritates my forehead so thats why I wear it, and w/o a hat it keeps my hair out of my face.
 
rescue me is the best show, from FX (channel 69) with dennis leary as a fire fighter, i suggest you buy it.

afer rescue me comes '24'
 
When it's cold i have one of those velcro facemasks. Fit's your face perfect and keeps you warm as hell. No point in wearing a bandana when you have that.
 
ya right, practical to have a piece of cloth hanging from your pants? Like it does much putting it around your forehead?? I think they look plain stupid/slash gangster wannabee.
 
they are very pratical. keep the hair out of my eyes, keep face warm from wind. i dont hang them outta my pocket thats kinda dumb
 
i always use them as headbands, to keep hair from face.

and under my helmet and sometimes over m lower face to keep it warm, but i find it diificult to breathe through; any1 else have this problem?
 
Its origins are as a gang symbol ("got bandana hanging out the backside but only on the left side yeah thats the crip side" -Snoop Dogg) And then white kids realized they could get away with flashing gang colors on ski mountains, because black people don't ski.
 
a bandana hanging from your side makes your skiing look smoother, this is what mogul skiers used to a long time ago.
 
a little bit of classic rescue me for those less fortunate ones who have not watched it

Tommy Gavin: Listen, you can meet a guy's ex-girlfriend in a bar and feel her up.

Kenny Lou: Yes.

Tommy Gavin: You can be in a bar, meet a guy's ex-wife, and?

makes circular gestures on his chest

Tommy Gavin: Titty action. You can even grab his sister's ass while the guy is in the same bar.

Kenny Lou: Yes you could.

Tommy Gavin: And it would all fall under the giant unbrella rule of, "Sorry, I was drunk."

Kenny Lou: Like Visa and Mastercard, accepted the world over.

Tommy Gavin: In fact, that's why the rule was invented all those years ago, by the... Romans?

Kenny Lou: Earlier than that, my friend: the Druids!

counting on his fingers
 
how about a ski mask/balaclava?

terrorist and gangster look all rolled in one. its like gas mask steeze
 
i wear one on my belt loop at school to piss off the teachers cause they are like put your bandana away and i'm like its a hankercheif god damnit. its a smokey the bear bandana any how its not like a gang flag or anyhting
 
i keep it in my back left pocket so i can use the snoop line, i just change the color to fit what color i got, then change crip to pimp
 
gangters wear it on their left back pocket also becuase the coulour shows what gang theyre in.
 
cotton banditos suck...you cant breathe through them. I gots a nylon stretchy one that is perferated and you can breath through it even when your huffin an puffin..
 
my hair comes out of the vents in my Nine.9 so i wear one to keep that in check, or you could wear it tied around your thigh like Chatchy in Happy Days
 
i wear it like the gangster kids on the slope- not trying to be gangster mind you, it keeps my face from freezing. plus it looks dope with the bad lieutenant
 
Depends on what gang you're in! For example a Blood would rock it on the rightside while a Crip would represent on the leftside...
