The Colors

The term "colors" is used when referring to a motorcycle clubs' patch with two rockers. One is placed over the top of the middle large graphic patch and one placed underneath it. The rockers are usually curved bars with the top bar designating the club name and the lower bar designating the location of the club. The two rockers are separate from the middle, larger graphic type patch, hence the term three-piece patch. Motorcycle clubs differ from riding clubs or other types of motorcycle organizations as they traditionally have "prospecting" time (a probationary training period) required before the club members decide to accept the individual into the group and allow him to wear or "fly" the colors of the group. Most club colors will also have MC printed on the rocker or as an additional small, rectangular patch, sometimes referred to as a "cube," to further clarify it as a motorcycle club rather than another type of organization.
