While it is a long way out if/when me and my future wife have a baby boy since I am not married yet, I was wondering, should we buy pink clothes for a potential future baby boy? Pink is my signature color, and I would like my son to grow up to have pink as his favorite color like me buy buying him pink clothes.
As long as the clothing doesn't look girly, I would think it would be okay. Perhaps some little pink polo shirts would be fine.
What does anyone here think?

You want your future kid to love pink like you do?
I find that odd, weird and really narcissistic.
Let your kids, when you have them, choose their own path. Dressing a baby boy in pink polo shirts is not going to make him a lover of all things pink.
The more important question is why even ask this if you're not even pregnant or have kids?
My first was a girl. Her little brother got a lot of her hand me downs. He wore all her pink gown sleeppers when he was a newborn. He has his sister's paci holder that's also pink. It's fine. It's not a controversial topic. Don't let anybody influence your decision. The most important thing about parenting is to be a good freakin' parent. That's what you should be concerned about.

I'm actually a man, but I would love to find a wife who loves pink, and if she has a baby boy, I hope she agrees that we should buy pink clothes for our son.
There is an interesting history to the "pink for girls/blue for boys" way of dressing children....
"For example, a June 1918 article from the trade publication Earnshaw's Infants' Department said, “The generally accepted rule is pink for the boys, and blue for the girls. The reason is that pink, being a more decided and stronger color, is more suitable for the boy, while blue, which is more delicate and dainty, is prettier for the girl.” Other sources said blue was flattering for blonds, pink for brunettes; or blue was for blue-eyed babies, pink for brown-eyed babies, according to Paoletti."
The color you dress your child in is unlikely to have much of a bearing of what color they like.
Case in point: I was a girl who was always dressed in pink. As soon as I was old enough to verbalize my choices, I wanted nothing to do with the color and preferred yellow, purple, and blue.
Why is it so important to you that your nonexistent child (and nonexistent wife?) conform to your preferences? If you want some kind of guarantee, skip the child and get a dog. He won't care what color coat you put on him.
My favorite color is green. My wife's is blue. My son's is orange. My daughter's is purple.
Somehow, we still manage to have a fulfilling family life.
