While the majority of skinheads ignore markings by lace, brace and less commonly
flight jacket colors, some do consider them useful labels. These identifiers were
largely regional and often have different and even opposite meanings in different
areas. The list below should be considered "generic". While there was
significance placed upon this once upon a time, the "braces and laces game"
has fallen largely into disuse ("laces and braces don't make you racist").
White - White power, white pride
Red - neo-Nazi, National Front, sometimes a badge for completed racial violence,
alternatively; identifies Left Wing/ Socialist.
Yellow/black/blue - SHARP; sometimes a badge for completed violence against a
racist
Blue - cop killer (not in the UK!)
Yellow - Asian basher (not in the UK!)
Pink - gay skin or gay basher (not in the UK!)
Green - gay skin or Vegan skin (not in the UK!)
Black - you just bought new boots or traditionalist
Black and White - Racial unity, traditionalist or ska fan or "Two Tone."
