JMHO, but I can't see any good reason to try to look like something I'm not. Anything with 3 patches is the province of 1% groups, like it or don't. I'll just stay out of their business and mind mine.

Wearing an SOA t-shirt...not a big deal.
Wearing an SOA cut on a vest...uh...that's a bit different.

You're assuming the people who would buy this stuff are, in fact, bikers and that they are aware of what "colors" are, let alone what they mean.

The clothing is not even a motorcycle area:

Don't wear that shirt while carrying a "Happy days "FONZIE" lunch box".
Three stooges shirts are still OK though. Leave it to Beaver is still iffy.......
"Wild Hogs" shirts.....still illegal in 15 states.

While I don't see a problem with supporting a show vis t-shirt sales, I can't feel good about rockers on a vest bought from a retailer. MCs colors are not souvenirs.

I agree 100%! Someone wearing a TV show's logo won't be messed with, but try wearing a MCs rocker and you'll definitely get some attention that ain't so friendly. Just like the tat shows (La & Miami Ink), SOA gives "normal folk" something to try to ID with. They'll wake up to their office work day and drive their cages and wear the SOA Ts on the weekend thinking they are badass and eventually go back to their golf game and we'll be where we've always been. Riding 'cause we love it, not because it's just cool!

I take it that this SoA thing is just another Hollywood PoS 'reality' type show, and now a bunch of wannabe's and punks think it's 'bada$$' to wear a shirt with a fake MC thing on it? Why aren't these idiots who want to wear/buy this crap embarrassed? Are they too stupid to understand they should be or what? If there was ever such a thing as a 'poser', it'd be someone who buys/wears this kind of garbage. I say let 'em waste their money, the idiots should be parted from it as soon as possible so they don't do anything even more stupid with it.

Wow...why do you sound so angry about what some TV show fan might want to buy?
