No.
Pink and Blue historically were reversed on the Masculine/Feminine spectrum. Blue was a feminine color and pink was a masculine color. This was in the age before color televisions so our collective knowledge of it seems to be lost, but it was still there.

And the Army uniforms in the late 40's were referred to as Pink and Greens, if I remember correctly (Officers)

SPC Greg Andle - That was because the off-setting colors created an optical illusion more than anything.

"Real men" do a lot of things. According to my school, "Real Veterans" wear orange.

If YOU bought it for yourself, hell yeah.
If it used to be WHITE but it was washed with something red, it depends on whether it was your fault.
If your girlfriend or wife bought it for you, no... but be ready to say that when confronted.

SGT (Join to see) At least here in Thailand... nope. Pink is one of the Royal colors, so you see men wearing pink all the time.

I wore pink laces in my hockey skates for months on end. The reason I did, besides being different, is because I know two women who have had AND beaten breast cancer. Now that they've both done it, I'm pulling the laces out.

Greg, I've known you for 6 years. I've never seen you as the type to buy into this kind of petty bullshit. You want to wear pink, wear pink. If there IS a "guy code" what should violate said code is ripping each other apart over being unique and one of a kind. Too many sheep and not enough wolves in my opinion!
You stay classy!

That's why I voted no, as just about everyone else did. It's very petty, and I frankly don't give a shit if people think wearing pink's cool or not. I (me, the Iron Chief, as you've referred to me) think it's cool, and not just for breast cancer awareness, but also because of it's atypicality!! I've got red laces in now, dammit!

Wife bought me a pink polo once. She said it was Salmon, i said it was pink. I did wear a few times. On board ship i used bright pink towels. My white towels were always getting stolen. No one ever took my pink towels.

A special "thank you" to (then) GySgt (Name Redacted) who would drop any MECEP, Midshipmen, or Officer Candidate who got caught wearing pink --or ANY pastel shade. To this day, his "guidance" has impacted my wardrobe. If it's not a primary color, black, brown, or grey, I just can't put it on. For his retirement, a group of us dressed up like Miami Vice extras ...and knocked out 50 push-ups each at his reception.
