So I was wondering, their vests-their gang was like a real baseball team.... perhaps they were good baseball players, why not? Anyway they surely liked baseball!!!
So do you guys think they "talked" by a "gesture-code" (like baseball teams during a match) during a fight?
I mean they could have written a new code only 4 gang's "matches"!!! By that War Lord could give his soldiers all necessary orders!!! 8)

I could easily see them signaling to each other in the street, even if it was just the tip of their cap or touching their wrist - they probably communicated that way all the time, even without makeup when they were out and about in their real identities.

On that note, could you imagine how scary it would be to be initiated into the Furies? You'd be there in your regular clothes, no face paint, surrounded by freaks in face paint, uniforms and wooden bats. You wouldn't get your facepaint until you earned your colors, so you'd have to fight some of them to get in, and have the psychological mindfreak going against you.

Yeah and you know what, during the initiation?
You cannot obviously speak, shout, cry or whatever else!!!
Well if you wanna be a Furie.... you have to fight like a Furie!!! 8)

They never talk in front of other gangs or people, just to give themselves that whole "mysterious" edge. I can imagine that they would talk to each other in their hangout, but not take off their facepaint- after all, what if somebody attacks their hangout? They'd never have time to put the paint back on!
