S/B ok, as long as it is clear that there is no affiliation or territory. Like above, however, why that patch configuration? Lots of ways to display being a vet or anything else, w/o trying to look like a 3PP. Imitation is either the most sincere flattery or blatant disrespect. Depends on who is viewing it.

As for the idiots wearing SOA gear, I can't even imagine anyone being that stupid.

Possibly he could get hassled about the patches from one who can't see what it says. I get asked a lot about my back patch from other bikers who obviously can't see well.....it's a CMA patch.

Agree with most other comments, most people don't mess with anything thats not an affiliation nor claims territory. I ride with the Red Knights and am a full patch member and have no problems at all over here in Md...We are not a known 1% club though either. TONS of people rock the 3 piece here that have veterans patches and military insignia on them with no problems.

I have all kind of **** on my vest. I’m not part of any MC and don’t care to be. I ride with friends and neighbors who ride.. I’ve only had one guy give me **** about my vest and after a short discussion he left me alone.

My top rocker says "AFFLICTION", my bottom rocker says "TAP OUT" in addition to the "Live to Ride, Ride to Live", "Loud Pipes Save Lives", "DILLIGAF" and "In Memory Of", have I left out anything?
