what color laces is it okay to wear in your boots?

XHonusWagnerX - 4-7-2010 at 08:26 AM

without stiring up any unwanted questions or trouble, besides the black ones they came with.

panzerkreuzer - 4-7-2010 at 08:30 AM

here in germany white laces stand for being racist and red for being leftwing.

mattybar - 4-7-2010 at 08:34 AM

what would happen if you have one boot with red laces and the other with white laces?

panzerkreuzer - 4-7-2010 at 08:39 AM

you get beaten up from both directions

REV.PAULIE - 4-7-2010 at 09:06 AM

Any color you like...Anyone who thinks the color of a person's laces automatically defines that person's belief system should be beaten about the head and shoulders with a dead halibut.

newbreedbrian - 4-7-2010 at 09:12 AM

Yup, I never bought in to any of that nonsense. I wore white laces for years. For what's it's worth, it really depends on where you are I found. Some cities take that stuff way more seriously than others. If you know any local skinheads, they're usually pretty aware of whether it's even an issue where they're from. Agreed with the halibut, but I'd go with a herring. Better for cutting down trees.

BDx13 - 4-7-2010 at 09:23 AM

yeah, i kinda thought that issue died around the completion of high school, but maybe it depends where you are. kids that got into WP nonsense always seemed quite enamored of the uniform factor, so maybe the boneheads still care.

XHonusWagnerX - 4-7-2010 at 09:33 AM

thanks guys.... I never bought in to it really, but wasnt sure.

I just got a pair of boots for the first time since highschool and I just dont like the plain black laces. I might to with either red or blue.

antihero jay - 4-7-2010 at 09:41 AM

I always was a fan of the yellow laces...matches the stiching if you have docs and can't be associated with any belief system or political views I am aware of.

BKT - 4-7-2010 at 10:01 AM

I am bugging to beat someone down with a fish. hahhaha. That had to be one of the best things I have heard in a long time.

BKT.

JawnDiablo - 4-7-2010 at 10:14 AM

i had no idea that lace color was even relevant in 2010.
I remember in high school it was a big deal with all the poser skinheads.
white: wp
red: nazi
purple: gay
yellow: supports troops.
bla bla bla.
maybe that's why i just wore jungle boots / paratrooper boots with the laces they came with.
gay.

I got my ass beat a few timeswhen I was younger for wearing red laces and suspenders. I liked the colour of the laces and attached no meaning to them, but unfortunately for me other people did. I got beat up by the cops a couple of times for the same reason. It sucked.

This is what I remember from the high school days:

White = White power
Red = Nazi
Yellow = Anti-Cop
Purple = God save the queen

Blue and green both meant something, but I forget what they were. Fucking stupid.

Dave - 4-7-2010 at 12:20 PM

I used to rock red laces all the time, they just looked good with black docs....

but around here it never meant anything so it wasnt a big deal.

jonnynewbreed - 4-7-2010 at 12:28 PM

Pink is always a safe bet. You could be against high school bullying.

gavin - 4-7-2010 at 12:32 PM

remember this and all will be well

BDx13 - 4-7-2010 at 02:52 PM

i think my wife - and daughter - have them.

XHonusWagnerX - 4-7-2010 at 03:09 PM

I thought Blue meant anarchy. Green no idea, but all those other colors you listed are how I remember those days to be.

very gay indeed.

I get awesome reactions from it. Girls love it (and probably think I'm gay) and guys think it's not my card.

*swipes card*

"No, really... It IS my card."

JawnDiablo - 4-7-2010 at 04:49 PM

great....if she peeks over my shoulder she'll want that credit card too.
she likes that stuff big time.
i got her a hello kitty birthday cake and she dug t alot.
it was tasty too.

Josh, you have hair. Thus, none of the normals will assume you're a racist (i.e. "skinhead"), so you've got nothing to worry about. I'd even be surprised if any boneheads gave you a hard time.

But, to add to the various retarded ideas in the thread that I've heard over the years...

White = white power
Red = spilled blood for the white race
Blue = I think this one was sXe last time I heard/saw
Green = environmentalist

I'm sure there's plenty more I'm forgetting. Just wear what you like. And don't forget to do the bar (or, straight) lacing.

DAK - 4-7-2010 at 05:18 PM

Blue = Pandora Power

Discipline - 4-7-2010 at 05:26 PM

My cousin once had WWJD shoe laces. My sister and I still laugh about it.

I remember blue being sXe too back when I was in highschool. I used to have one red and one yellow and said it was for McDonalds!

I havent done it in so long I gotta google how to straight lace them once I get new laces.

JawnDiablo - 4-7-2010 at 09:10 PM

velcro docs woulda avoided all color conflicts...

mattybar - 4-8-2010 at 11:05 AM

Surly that's just a dead herring.

It's amazing that some fools read far to much into things like this though, when i moved to Dublin i got nothing but shit for wearing white one's in my rangers. So i decided to piss both sides off by wearing one red and one white. Yes i looked like a confused gay skin head but it did make going to gigs a little more fun.

Was listening to the Jason Ellis show on XM and he was talking about how you can tell which skinheads are racist by the color of their laces.

I find the swastika tattoos help a little more.

No doubt. His entire reference for Skinheads was based on seeing Romper Stomper.

Lucabrasi - 4-10-2010 at 07:45 AM

I had alway wore white laces in my boots. Never had someone come up to me and think I ask if I was a racist. I just liked the black and white contrast.

I have always used method 1, never even knew of another method until I googled it and found the above links.

BDx13 - 4-10-2010 at 11:28 AM

kinda funny that that needed to be explained!
i've always gone with the second method.
i don;t like seeing the laces underneath.

Discipline - 4-10-2010 at 12:33 PM

I don't use either of those methods.

morgan - 4-10-2010 at 01:56 PM

I don't bother laddering the laces on my boots.

Or the white power forehead tattoos. Those are always classy.
