Why do people wear "uniforms" for their activities or social class?

This is something, I've always gotten a kick out of. Why is it people feel the need to wear uniforms for their specific hobbies or social activities?

ITs like when you were in high school. The stoners all had long hair and wore black, the surfer kids wore the surfing shit, the jocks wore the jock accessories ect..ect..

However what I'm talking about is actual adults. You probably see it everyday and never think about it. But think of cyclist all wearing their dumb spandex biking uniforms. People on Harley's wear their little leather chaps and leather vests. The dorks on BMW motorcycles wear their little BMW jumpsuits.

The worst of the worse are the NASCR crowd, back when I lived in Daytona they would walk around wearing fucking pit crew uniforms for their favorite drivers teams. It was insanely funny.

There are likely dozens of others, but why do you think people don't just dress like normal adults, why do you think full grown adults continue on dressing up into some socially approved group uniforms for their various lifestyle or hobbies?
