MORALE PATCH – BIKER PATCH – MOTORCYCLE PATCH

Colors are the insignia, or “patches”, worn by motorcycle club members on cut-offs to identify membership of their club and territorial location. Club patches have been worn by many different groups but, since the 1960s, have become largely synonymous with outlaw bikers.

Colors are considered to represent “significant markers of the socialization” of new members to clubs, rank and present a dominant symbol of identity and marked with related symbolism. They can be embroidered patches sewn onto clothing or stenciled in paint, the primary symbol being the “back-patch” of club’s insignia or logo and generally remain the property of the club. Wearing such clothing is referred to as “flying one’s colors”.
