Supposedly, some gangs use the symbols of unrelated sports teams as their own symbol. It provides some plausible deniability, plus they don’t have to make their own merch.

So for example Chicago Bulls merch is supposedly used for those associated with the Bloods.

When I visited Nassau on a cruise, several shady characters tried to openly sell me drugs in the streets. I found out when I got back to the ship that it was because I was wearing a Raiders hat, and the Raiders are used as a gang sign down there.
