I would never own or keep something to wear in public supporting what In my opinion is a lame tv show. I have actually seen someone wearing a SOA t-shirt. I was also told about someone being told to get rid of the shirt over it's claim of Florida and black and white colors while in Florida. I didn't witness this myself so it is hearsay. Can't imagine any club taking the t-shirt serious but I can see the colors being a problem with a territorial claim. Most of us here wear clothing with someones logo or label on it. I have a closet full of shirts , jackets, coats, and caps that have someone's logo. Everything in that closet though represents something I attend, belong to, use, or own. I can't even begin to count the number of times I have had a HD t-shirt on and had someone wearing a HD t-shirt come up to me and tell me that they want to get a HD one day but------. Then they ask me if I own or have a Harley. To my own opinion there should be some truth to advertising if you are cool. Seen it, done it, been there, own it, all I got was this shirt it. With that said---wear what you want, especially if you are a poser.

I'm not going to explain why clubs treat that seriously but they do. I know it's a really dumb TV show and so does everyone else but they are essentially fake club colors and the wearer will be "asked nicely" to remove them.

It's a fad and it will pass. I wouldn't worry about getting roughed up over it. Pitied, yes. Scorned, yes. Laughed at, absolutely. I was at a swapmeet a couple of years ago where a vendor was trying to sell them. Everybody over the age of 12 just stared and shook their head. Even the Maytag repairman was glad he wasn't that guy.

Wear what ya want..I wouldn't, but I sure would NOT remove a shirt such as that, that is known to be a non-entity MC, if I was asked. I would have to laugh back at the "asker" no matter how large and fuzzy he (or she) was.
I do a lot on principal, and if it included wearing a SOA t-shirt I would...and if cletus of the Fudge-Packers MC is offended then that is his right but I will be damned if it's coming off my back...I would have to wrestle his 'cut' off him in return...maybe call him a poser !! lol

Besides I am a guy...the world is my urinal !!

There's an entire rack dedicated to it in Dallas HD dealership. It is the only rack that people don't seem to go near.

Why not as the Dealers make more on accesories than on the bike sales!
