Other symbols used by the gang include upward-crossed pitchforks, hearts, wings, flames, crowns, devil's tails, the letters GD, BGD, BOS (Brothers of the Struggle), or numbers that have a special significance to the gang. Members also distinguish themselves by wearing the gang's colors, which are black and blue. Some members also wear their clothing to the right side of their body as a means of showing their relationship with the Folk Nation. For example, members wear black and blue shoelaces only on the right shoe, tilt their hats to the right, and fold their right pant legs. | ||||
