Diaper bags are typically made for Mom, but these days Dad spends lots of time lugging the kids and their gear around. If his idea of fashion doesn't include flowers, teddy bears, and pink, you're going to need a diaper bag for dad. Men want bags that are durable, their friends won't make fun of, and ideally can be repurposed after the kids are old enough to carry around their own stuff.
Diaper bags, whether for dad or not, need to be very sturdy, preferably waterproof, easy to clean, and spacious. Having lots of separate pockets is a big plus so you're not rooting around for baby's favorite toy, bottle, or a clean diaper. Of course, dads also want to not get made fun of, so when you're choosing a diaper bag "just for him," make sure you find a good blend of form and function.
The market for hip diaper bags for dads is huge; so huge, in fact, that there's an entire web site devoted to it. I could spend hours browsing this site for all their variety; there must be hundreds of messenger bags from arty to college pride. These bags could easily be used long after the baby is grown up, although you might want to choose a design that suggests that the dad has already done so! Many of these bags are made from recycled billboards!
Another unique diaper bag for dad is the Dragnet from Freitag; its unusual look and texture come from its construction from recycled truck flaps. It's not specifically made for hauling diapers, but most parents will tell you that having a tough bag that will stand up to abuse is much more important than a specially designed sippy-cup pocket.
How can you go wrong with diaper bags for dad when you're buying from a company named Killspencer? Their bags are all made to military specifications, are completely waterproof, and look great. They're mostly made from recycled military hardware (canvases, truck tarps, and so on), and might be the most badass container you'll find for diapers, board books, and rattlers.
The JuJuBe Messenger bag is specifically designed as a diaper bag for dad that can be repurposed as a laptop messenger once Junior is all grown up. It's got lots of "dad features" like cell phone pockets, key clips, and pen holders, although honestly I don't know any moms who don't carry cell phones, keys, and pens. Still, the conversion to padded laptop case and khaki color scheme definitely make this a man's bag.
Of course, no one is manlier than Brad Pitt. His daddy diaper bag, the Jamah Nanny is one of the best choices out there (assuming, of course, you make as much money as Brad). It's a little pricey but you're unlikely to do much better for a masculine bag specifically designed for baby supplies. Personally, I'd suggest one of the designs without the flower, but your man may vary.
