As a huge fan of the WWE Hall of Famer, I was shocked to see how stereotypical the dress code of his restaurant “Hogan’s Beach in Tampa” was. Many of the clothes that are forbidden in his restaurant are usually associated with what African American men wear. Hit the jump for details.
Via TMZ:
The Hulk no-no’s include:
— No oversized t-shirts extending past the mid thigh
— No excessively baggy attire
— No low hanging pants or shorts
— No hats facing sideways or back facing
— No oversized or excessive jewelry
— No camouflage (unless with military ID)
— No workout clothing (including track suits, jump suits, sweat pants or basketball shorts)
— No high-top sneakersAnd get this … if you plan to wear a do-rag or a bandana, FORGET ABOUT GETTING IN … uhhh, Hulk’s wearing one ON THE FRIGGIN’ SIGN!!!!
We spoke with an employee at the restaurant, who said you can wear just about anything for lunch or dinner, but the dress code is strictly enforced during concert events. When we asked him about wearing oversized jewelry, he said, “I don’t want to sound stereotypical …” and then he trailed off.
We spoke with Hulk, who says he licenses his name to the restaurant but didn’t know about the dress code and he’s looking into it right now.
