What is color bandana?

A color bandana is a square piece of cloth made from cotton, silk, or other fabrics, which is typically worn as a head covering or around the neck. The color bandanas are often associated with gang affiliation and have been used as a form of gang identification for many years. They are typically associated with street gangs in the United States who use them to show allegiance to a particular gang or drug organization. Different colors of bandanas can signify various meanings based on the region, gang, or ideology. For example, a red bandana is often associated with Bloods gang, blue bandanas with Crips, and green bandanas with the Folk Nation alliance. However, many people use bandanas as a fashion accessory or for practical purposes such as cleaning, protecting their head or face from the sun, or as a sweatband during physical activity.
