My best guess is that if a member of a real club sees you wearing an SOA T-shirt with or without a bottom rocker, he may think you're retarded, but he isn't going to think a fictional TV club is claiming his territory. Get a grip.
In case any of you missed this post...

Perhaps the best post on this *subject* the forum has ever seen.

Saw a guy walking around Sturgis with a SOA "Sturgis" bottom rocker. Saw some SOS, and some HA's in the same area; no one bothered him. I would give the 1% clubs some respect in that they realize it's from a TV show. If someone wants to wear a T shirt with SOA "colors" they (1% clubs) probably just laugh and think the individual is a poser.

In fact HA's had a store front set up selling their merchandise and were directing people into it. Everybody was very cool, I did not see any problems while in Sturgis.

To each his own. There always gonna be someone selling something that others might think is stupid, but there's also always somebody who's gonna buy it.

given how trademark concious the moco is it's a little surprising that a dealer would be selling these shirts. None of the SoA merchandise with territory rockers is marketed by Fox. It's all knock-offs. I bought a very cool ashtray off ebay during the first season before I knew about this.

If you want one, buy it. If you don't want one, don't buy it. If you think the dealer is ripping you off, don't go there. WTF is the problem.

if you go to a dodgers game do you not wear blue for fear that a blood may mistake your pearly white *** for a crip? do you worry about the italian mafia when ordering gabagool from an italian butcher? this constant fawning over and worrying about 1%'er clubs is bordering on gay here.

i've ridden many miles through many states and have never seen anyone from a 1%'er club ever aside frm four guys from wheels of soul, four guys from "chosen few mc", and one guy from the ching-a-lings who bought my old bike (at least he said he was from the ching-a-lings). i would wager anyone wearing that shirt would be fine.

some of these 1%'er clubs have 20 members in a state they claim and less than 500 members nationwide. it isn't like there's tens of thouands of them prowling the suburbs hunting RUB's with SOA gear on. get a grip fellas...
