OG ART GALLERY PT 2

Due to popular demand, we are breaking out some more classic Chicago gang calling cards from back in the day. To read more on the history of these check out the first OG Art Gallery post below...

Added bonus round this time as well.  In addition to the calling cards, the real hot item of that era was the patch.  That's right, our gangbangers used to hold it all down while wearing sweaters back in the day.  Can't hate on a man who has style AND is nice with the hands.  There is a long history to the sweaters and the patches here in Chicago.  Alot of rules went along with wearing your gang's sweater.  Alot of blood also was shed over them.  There was nothing more desired then an opposing gangs sweater, and many a fight was had over them.   We will try to get some more shots of some of the classics for you up here in the future.  Until then, enjoy the bonus round...
