man, in columbus, bars are starting to say "no flat bill baseball caps"
the hell? i'm assuming that this guy would be allowed into those bars.
i can't stand those clothing brands, but the thought of banning a brand name is pretty asinine to me.

we have this garbage spot in our chintatown called 'dirty' which is a major douche (both dudes and chicks) joint. one of my friends who's adesigner w/ nike got turned away for wearing the 'vancouver tuxedo' (word to the person that called that out, i like that name). and they let drunkwhite chicks in who wear uggs and jean skirts in. i don't like the brands either but i'd be turning away people w/ white or black tees before someonew/ semi-expensive clothing on. if they can afford the clothing, that should signify they have some class over the hood dude that wears a white tee w/everything.

I forgot to mention that the same bar that doesn't allow chains and gold grills doesn't let "packs" ofdudes in either. There has to be a 1:1 girl guy ratio in your party. Craziness....

I'm left wondering what are some of you actually complaining about?....Why would you want entry to a club or bar that doesn't accept your type ofattire?
Why would you want entry if none of your "kind" is in there?
If you're "fresh to death" why would you wanna hang out with a bunch of losers that dress NEO PREP (the term everyones looking for) anyway? Trust me you're not going to score with any chicks..Although most of them secretly want THAT GUY IN THE "GANGSTA ATTIRE" theywould'nt put their social life on the line for it. It kills "THE MOOD" for the "PREPS" which is the majority on some nights
Which is why the girl simply comes back solo on "Hip-Hop" night to get torn apart by "THAT GUY IN THE "GANGSTA ATTIRE"
I design websites now, but in the past I've bartended and promoted and I was taught REAL ESTATE and NIGHT CLUBS are the most RACIST but PROFITABLEbusinesses out there...It's cold but it's the truth...PEOPLE PAY YOU TO BE SATISFIED...IF YOU CAN'T THEY GO ELSE WHERE...So it's not the clubit's the PEOPLE......So why would you wanna be around people that don't like you?

Last Saturday night, staff at Crush on Granville Street told him he wasn't allowed inside wearing his Ed Hardy shirt, he said. He had to turn the shirt inside-out to hide the design.
Blacklisted brands include his favourite labels like Ed Hardy, Affliction and Xtreme Couture, he said. All of these use trendy motifs like tattoos, skulls and chains.
Vancouver bars aren't the first to ban brands. In England, some pubs banned the luxury British label Burberry, which is popular with soccer hooligans.
ban that %%@*.. its garbageee

Im not really a fan of these brands but for the places to say that this is gangsta attire just seems racist....I mean at first dudes would wear du rags, baggyjeans, and big coats and that was considered to be too gangsta....now that dudes tighten the clothes up, switch brands and find something new, then this isalso to gangsta....I really dont see anything gangsta about wearing ed hardy or affliction....Just my 2 cents

they ban any and every non-white stereotypical way of dress...
it's not about wanting to be "around people that don't like you", because, frankly, im always invited out somewhere...
i don't just say "oh, let me go to _______ tonite, check out the crowd"
it was always either a "____ night" or someone i knew was having a bday party there or what not...
either way, what does it matter the type of crowd that's there?
when you're turning people away because of the preference of a particular style of baseball cap BILL, you're ODing....
they went from "no hats" to "hats, but not backwards" to "its not the hat....it's the flat bill"
which...is lame.
like i said tho, i don't even be on clubs/bars unless i'm on a bill somehow...so
You're wrong first the BOUNCERS are PAID GOONS..they just follow orders.
Second you're absolutely right about bannings....It's illegal to DISCRIMINATE
based on COLOR...so it's a LOOP HOLE ..if they REALLY WANT TO BE THERE
THEY WILL CHANGE..
NO DIFFERENT THAN NIKETALK RULES....Tone it down or get the hell out
If you can't be yourself someplace why be there? that's being untrue to you.

No flat brim hats
No urban wear
No grills
No chains
No packs (3+ deep dudes)
No dreads/braids
No white tees
No black people
That's what they're trying to do...too bad we can dress to our environment and bust out the Ralph Lauren polo/sweater vest, slacks, and loafers whenneed be.
Denial of Civil Rights to a public facility FAIL. But everymonth they are always trying to add more criteria to the discrimination loophole
At the minimal, they're trying to keep out goons who in a lot of clubs make up the vast majority of the scene.

i don't agree with the dress codes and banning certain brands, but i do see what they are trying to do. they aren't trying to not allow in certainraces they are trying to keep the club peaceful. unfortunately you can't tell if it's gonna be the skinny white dude wearing affliction getting rowdyor the brotha in a suit. the owners see a certain stereotype of people that cause problems and they try to address that by restricting what clothing they letin. my high school thought that there was a gang problem in town (very small town with 1 gang) so they disallowed any boxers being shown and some other stupidrules. well the people that got affected the most were the stoned skaters because they rocked pants low.
