Please remove your vest...
Recently, I met a guy who moved to Georgia from California. He told me story about a bar we have in common. Apparently, he showed up one aftenoon wearing a HA support patch. A member of an Outlaw support club asked him if he bled black and white or red and white. He had no idea what the dude was talking about. To make a long story short, he was asked to remove his vest, which he did. It was all cool after that and he has been back to the bar since. This is the first time I've personally met anyone who has had this experience.
Was he an HA Support Member? If he was, then I am sure that he would have known what the guy was talking about. If he isn't, then he is pretty dumb for wearing that patch in my opinion. When you choose to support a particular club, be ready for the consequences with rival clubs.

If you are going to wear support merchandise you should know what it implies. Someone made a comment the other day about no support patches on our club vest. There are implied rules that go with respect. It is what it is.

Respect is earned, intimidation is implied.

If someone is going to present them self as traveling in the 1% world by wearing support insignia of a 1% club, they would be well advised to know what that means and what the rules are in that subculture.
I guess I don't understand why someone who is not apart of that subculture would blindly stick themselves into it.
