I'm not up on gay culture. What was the red and yellow rags hanging from his right back pocket supposed to mean this time? An indication of his willingness to do Hulk Hogan?
I thought he looked a little like Sting with the face paint tonight.

I think he can get over with a lot of the homophobes again if he goes with face paint. Something in the Vampiro/Misfits range would work well with him. Everyone wants to call Jeff queer, I always thought of him as more punk.

I don't believe there was any significance to the rags at all. In fact, I don't think they were even rags, but rather two of those spandexish day-glo shirts he always wears. Jeff just likes to put as many colors as possible into his wardrobe. Jeff being gay is not a foregone conclusion; BigDaddyLoco has it right, he's just a punk.
Also, I think the fact that he paints his arm all the time shows he's too pussy to get a tattoo (which, again, doesn't necessarily make him homosexual).
If he IS gay, he needs to rethink his style, cause I think he's attracting more little girls than gay men.
I remember when the Hardyz first started getting pushed, they had a gothic theme going and it got to the point where they were pushed as the New Brood (which is where they started using the "guns to the head" hand signal). I think at this point, Jeff needs to go back to that character, because he's obviously leaning towards that direction.

And that's the bottom line, because it's false! It's DAMN false!
Just because a guy wears face paint, he's gay?? Give me a break! Is this another one of those 'my girlfriend likes him, so I'll hate him and call him gay because I can' kind of things? He's a 'sensitive' soul and some chicks dig that. Write some poetry and see if some women don't fawn and coo over you. ha!
ANYWAY... I really think they need to do something with Jeff's character, seriously. Without Matt, he's just... some guy, to me. They need him to do something different, to stand out from when he was 1/2 of the Hardy Boyz(s).
Just a little bit of character tweaking so that he'd be more interesting. Add a few power moves to his moveset, make him gain about 10 more pounds, work on his mic work, and you have a viable wrestler. Him being a thorn in a heels ass was pretty good against Undertaker. Make him expand on that, I guess.

That was Edge and Christian. Hardyz first were pushed as a New Freebirds type idea with Michael Hayes as manager. Come to think of it, Jeff is starting to dress more and more like the early 90's Hayes/Garvin Freebirds that were a disgrace to the Freebird legacy.
Thank you Mr. Wanz for the check, now you get an AWA World Title Reign. But be careful, my boy Greg is a heat machine.

Edge and Christian were pushed as the ORIGINAL Brood. They split from Gangrel around the same time that the Hardyz dumped Hayez...I mean, Hayes and then they joined Gangrel to be the NEW Brood. It was around this time that the Hardyz went with more gothic personalities. It came off very subtle, but nothing screams out "gothic" like two kids in long greasy hair coming up through a ring of fire with "guns to my head" hand signals.

Jeff Hardy being gay is an urban legend that goes back for years. The scarves in the pocket aren't helping disprove it either.
The thing that I always found stupid was the Hardeyz' punk/goth personas combined with their southern drawl and piss-poor promos. Weeyer gonna keeyick yer ayass to the Extreme!

If Jeff is gay how would it matter? We can cheer over the top faggot characters, but not a guy who looks queer? Just the fact that so many people say that "He looks gay" or "He acts gay", gives me the impression that a lot of wrestling fans are middle to upper middle class Young Republicans with white hats and turtle neck shirts, but I don't want to be judgemental here. God forbid if your kid likes art, not football, and someday wants to dye his hair.
It would be interesting (if such a thing is available) if someone could post a color chart for the scarves and their various meanings. Then we could solve this mystery!

First, I want to point out that I went to the tape, and those are shirts Jeff has in his pocket.
Second, they are yellow and orange and in his right pocket. If the link above is accurate that would signify that Jeff likes to take it rather than give it, and he will take it in anyway possible, but he especially likes water sports. Not that there's anything wrong with that (I mean, who doesn't enjoy being pissed on?)
