Careful with that. The Coors guys might have something to say about it.

Looks kinda on the fringes of the 81's, as in flyin' skulls,(deathhead) except with no teeth. If I was them I'd sue for trademark infringement.
I'd be real hesitant about wearing this...
It could get you into trouble in the wrong neighborhood.
EXACTLY what I thought when I saw it. Buyer Beware!! Some folks don't take kindly to infringin' on other folks design... You might have to stand up (or down) in the wrong crowd wearing that.

I have the AB Eagle on my vest, but I'm on their payroll.

M/C patches are very near and dear to the hearts of the club members.
uugghhhh...my freedom to wear cool patches in near and dear to my heart. If MC guys don't like it they should make all of their "colors" uncool so no one will want to wear them.

[QUOTE=Medicfrost;3982091]


He was very cordial, and asked him why he had a diamond patch. He said it was from Deals Gap. He told him it looked a lot like a 1% patch, and asked if he was willing to die for that patch. QUOTE]

I would have told him that I'm not willing to die for anything, but I'm willing to make any dirtbag who hassles me over a patch eat a bullet.

40 years ago I was a young Vietnam Veteran returning to the Midwest from the West Coast. In Tijuana I picked up this Mexican blanket vest. I thought it was cool so I wore it all the time. The bartender at one of the local bars told me not to wear it in the bar. That cotton vest, in gray, white and black was a part of the colors for a MC Club (read gang) and colors were not allowed in the bar. I told him I’d rather leave than take it off so I left. On the way out I ran into two pledges, no rockers yet. They wanted the vest. Back then I had a lot of issues and was really screwed up. My best friend was a .357 Magnum. Somehow they saw my best friend and decided to let it go. Had these two been hard core members I probably would not be here today. So a clubs colors are not to be screwed with, even if what you have is only close, if you value your well being!
