Religious belief similar to gang colours?

Wearing Gang colours, what does it get you? Shot at? stabbed?

It's certainly not going to get you a job, or fair treatment by the law. It might be worth some street-cred, or engender some respect or access to certain people, but gang members are hardly in the position to provide the sort of business networking opportunities of the masons, unless you are in the crack business.
