 | The 3 piece patch is used to identify a member of a motorcycle club, or MC. A three-piece patch is most often seen as an outlaw motorcycle gang patch. (OMG) It is comprised of a top rocker, a central club logo, and a bottom rocker signifying territory. They are used to convey a very specific message in the biker world.
Members of motorcycle clubs are considered to have earned their patch. For a member of the public to wear an unauthorized patch is to invite a physical confrontation because it is considered stolen. The patch MUST BE approved by the dominant biker group in the area. Bikers will take a cut (vest) by force in many cases if it has not been approved. |
