Blue shirts and chinos have been banned by a university Students' Union due to " dangerous behaviour" by some students.

Cardiff University Students' Union (CUSU) said any people wearing The Outfit - typically associated with sports clubs - would be refused entry to its Wednesday Club night " Yolo".

It Comes after " dangerous behaviour" by a group of male students in the queue for The Union on 4 October.

CUSU has been asked to comment.

In an email sent to members of the university's Athletic Union, and seen by The Bbc , The Students ' Union said: " The behaviour displayed by The Group in question can only be described as reckless, dangerous and incredibly irresponsible.

" 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. "

The Students ' Union said, since implementing the ban, it had seen a " marked improvement in behaviour in the queue".

" 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, " the email said.

" 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. "

Cardiff University said it was a matter for The Students ' Union or The Athletic Union to comment on.
