Brand Specific Dress Code [Edit]

Nashville Nightclub Sets Limits

A Nashville Nightclub has introduced Brand Specific Dress Codes.  The sign outside the club displays a list of unacceptable brands, including: Southpole, ECKO, ENYCE, Sean Jean, Phat Farm, FUBU, etc.  The brand specific dress code is creating controversy both because it discriminates against style and because the brands chosen suggest racial profiling.  One shop keeper described, “You see black people wearing more of these type of clothes. I have it on now. I think he pointed his finger toward black people (talking about) the grills and the Sean Jean. I think he’s talking about more black people.”

From ABC News:
It’s nothing new to establish a dress codes at bars or restaurants, but what if someone said you couldn’t wear your favorite outfit—because of the name brand? That happened at On The Rocks, a bar near Music Row, and some think it has gone too far.
The bar is a popular hangout on Demonbreun Street, but the new dress policy has caused some to question the bar’s motive. “It is discrimination really,” said Jarvis Canty. “I mean, if I pay my money to go in there, I should be able to wear what I want.”

Damn straight - if this club owner wants to discriminate on legal grounds, then he absolutely has that right. And we as customers don't have to go to his club if we don't like it. It's the marketplace at work.

Oh, BS. What they WANT is to discriminate on illegal grounds. But since they can't, this is what they did instead. My favorite part of that sign is the "etc." Why not just have it say, "Black People: We can't keep you out, but we don't have to like you." Or would that make it harder for people like snakeoilguy to look the other way?

THere was a bar like this that opened up last year in my hippie little college town of ithaca ny. "no bandanas, camoflouge, baggy jeans etc." how silly, every time we'd walk by the sign we'd note, "might as well just say no black people" and Jeremy, i just wanted to tell you how much i love the trends you find! I print out the ones i love the most and they've almost always got your name on them. thanks man, you rock!
