• A one-piece patch normally signifies a family club or Social motorcycle club  for ease of identification when it's done with respect .(NO ROCKERS) Social Motorcycle  Clubs do not wear the three piece back patch. Some Australian Clubs that wear a one piece social club insignia include but not limited to EASYRIDERS who formed in 1975 and the ULYSSES CLUB  1983. These are some of largest  social motorcycle club organizations in Australia not to mention HOG who has a tremendous worldwide membership

And  yes we do show our support for the U.M.C in all states.The United Motorcycle Council was formed to ensure the rights of all citizens and the motorcycle community

 

• A two-piece patch can have many different meanings as long as it's done with respect to the area clubs.

 

• A three-piece patch normally means that the club is a Traditional MC club or Christian Motorcycle Clubs including the letters “CMC”. With the top rocker being the club name, the middle being their patch and the bottom being the territory they exist in. However for various reasons some patch clubs do not include MC on their vest

 

The traditional MC is one that adheres to the protocols and traditions established.  There are few exceptions, but, traditional clubs are approved by the local dominant.  The traditional 3pc patch club is not necessarily a 1% club or even the dominant club. 

 

The Diamond patch with "1%"  or "13" worn with the 3pc back patch signifies the club is a 1% or 1% support club.
