I'm a patch holder with a traditional M/C, I could give a **** less what you wear, but I have some brothers that will beat your azz if you wear a three piece patch with a territory rocker on the bottom.
Wear what you want, I really don't care. Just be aware there are those in the M/C world, especially prospects, that will not take kindly to the territory rocker on the bottom.
If you choose to wear a three piece patch from this show, you will need some really thick skin because you will get laughed at and ridiculed in front of who ever is around.
One more thing, wearing colors on a tee shirt is called "soft colors" and that is no different than wearing a cut, a vest, with colors.
At bike events you see alot of "store bought three piece patches" I have yet to see anyone wearing one not be stopped and questioned about it and told next time it would be taken from them, no questions ask.
So, wear what you want, talk **** about it all you want, let the world know what a bad azz you really are, just be ready for some prospect to try and earn his patch with your blood.

We are each responsible for our own actions. We either benefit or suffer from our choices. In this thread a word to the wise goes along way. Learn from others mistakes. You know full well your HD shirt won't remotely get you even stared at by a rice burner rider BUT there have been actual cases reported where careless wearing of controversial attire has gotten some people killed. In Concord or Manchester,NH an unwitting wearer of support HA paraphenalia he picked up in Laconia(because he thougt it was cool), walked into a bar that he did not realize was frequented by Outlaw MC(he was not from the area). The wearer of that shirt is now dead. Killed by a drunk Outlaw MC guy. He was young and died clueless.
So while some of you posters and nay sayers want to poke fun at this thread what the author is trying to express is to simply be aware of the possible ramifications of said choices.
Not everyone gets to play one percenter and when the bluff is called play the LEO card for the bail out. Some of us actually are held accountable for our mistakes. And the consequences can be lethal but most importantly can be avoided with good judgement and a little help from our friends.

I keep asking myself, "WHY?" Why would anyone want to wear that crap? It ain't like you gotta try too hard to get a beat down, but advertising the fact that you want one, well, I just say, "WHY?"

WOW some people just don't get it.Any of you that dont think a "Hollywood souveneir" can get you a beat down be my guest I sure hope youre right. I have SEEN people hassled over a band's parephenalia. I dont need an article I have SEEN it. Oh yeah and the 1%ers that did the hassling knew it was a band but felt it was disrespectful anyway. It is dangerously naive to say it cant or wont happen. Someone said you could get beat up by someone for any number of reasons, true but why increase your odds?!?!?!
Obviously, there are some extreme morons in the world that feel the need to compensate for their minuscule peckers by beating up other people for stupid reasons. You can hope to avoid this by not wearing one particular T-shirt, but their pecker will still be minuscule, and they'll find some other reason to beat you up. The advise to avoid wearing one particular t-shirt is therefore, useless.
