I enjoy these threads-
The brotherhood of being in a club is number one.
That being said, others here said a patch isn't the be-all to brotherhood, which is entirely true.
Brotherhood is a shared experience, a mutual understanding- those outside the circle wouldn't/couldn't understand.
That's the reason for so many post war veteran MCs, cop clubs, and general occupation/cause riders.
The material your passion is printed/sewn on doesn't matter-it's what's in the heart that counts.
Club business is just that- nobody outside needs to know your business and you don't feel the need to advertise that you belong, you already know it-nothing to prove.
So, print or embroider up some small patch to go over your heart on the vest of the "school/class of" and put your state flag on the back.
You know who you are to each other, and that's the magic.
Ride Forever
