A university Students’ Union has banned blue shirts and chinos following ‘dangerous behaviour’ by students wearing the garments.<\/p>\n
Cardiff University Students’ Union (CUSU) said any people wearing the outfit – typically associated with members of rugby and other sports clubs – would be refused entry to its Wednesday club night.<\/p>\n
It comes after ‘reckless’ incident involving a group of male students in the queue for the union event on 4 October.<\/p>\n
In an email sent to members of the university’s Athletic Union, the Students’ Union said: ‘The behaviour displayed by the group in question can only be described as reckless, dangerous and incredibly irresponsible.<\/p>\n
‘Fortunately, security were able to intervene and safely disperse the crowd, however, the situation could have easily escalated into a major incident had they not acted promptly.’<\/p>\n

Blue shirts and beige chinos have become the universal uniform of male sports clubs around the country<\/p>\n
The Students’ Union said that since implementing the ban, it had seen a ‘marked improvement in behaviour in the queue’.<\/p>\n
Blue shirts and beige chinos have become the universal uniform of male sports clubs around the country, with the accompanying tie identifying the sport or club in question.<\/p>\n
Nights out in the offending uniform often involve copious amounts of alcohol and yelling.<\/p>\n
New recruits are often initiated into the clubs by performing humiliating alcohol-soaked rituals.<\/p>\n
The email added: ‘If any group knows who the males were that caused this incident, I advise the committee to approach Athletic Union staff and the matter can be dealt with.<\/p>\n
‘Whilst we understand that this approach might not be favourable with all, until we are confident that those behaviours have been rooted out, we will continue with this restriction.’<\/p>\n
Cardiff University said it was a matter for the Students’ Union or the Athletic Union to comment on.<\/p>\n
It said the ban did not apply to any buildings other than the Students’ Union, which acts independently of the university.<\/p>\n
