How the hell is any1 supposed to know that? Blue and red have been considered oposite colours ever before they even started writing history down. Could have had cavemen painted in blue killin cavemen painted in red.

Yo man whoa, why you trippin? You never asked about the history of crips and bloods, you asked about who started the whole red and blue conflict thing. Red and blue have always been oposites, and groups always used red and blue to represent themselves. Wether tribes in africa or cavemen tribes or italian fuding houses (like in romeo & juliet) or crips and bloods or cartoons.

i believed in the beginnin all wore blue rags, but after the crips beefed with other gangs they joined up and wore red to differentiate themselves from the crips, am i right?

The only reason I was trying to find out, is cause I was havin a convo with my Mexican patnas and they were telling me the blue and red thing started between Sur and Norte not Crips and Bloods, thats the reason Im trying to know.

Los Surenos and Nortenos started repping the colors. Crips later on decided to wear Blue and Bloods soon followed afterwards with Red to counter the Blue rag.

in the beginning i herd even bloods wore blue, but to seperate themselvs bloods then wore red. thats what some O.G. from F.E.D.S. said in the movie.

The Prison Shoe Wars between Norte and Sur took off around 1968, when 14 went with red, and 13 with blue.
