Gang Protocol

To paraphrase Peter Sellers, rockers are off love.

A few years back the AGM of Ulysses Australia was to be held in Queensland. The local gangs told Ulysses that they would take severe exception to back patches. Subsequent discussions lead to an agreement that a Ulysses patch would be accepted as long as there was no rocker.

You'd have to be off yer rocker to wear one.

Just don't go there. A while ago now, a group here in Welly got all gangster wanne be like, and wore rocker patches. When one of the local 1%ers paid their *pres* a wee visit, telling him the error of their ways, the patches disappeared over night. Whether you like it or not...those cunts do have to earn that right.

Having a google of rocker patches, there seems to be a hard ass gang called " your text here"

Thanks guys,

I was pretty sure there was some code or unwritten law regarding how clubs like Ulysses, HOGs etc wore insignia.

So I presume club names or affiliations to a certain group is acceptable, so long as the rocker type patches are not displayed underneath them, unless of course you are a member of some outlaw type of club.

The thing that's grabbed me in this thread was Madness's post

buying your patch on-line......wasn't that long ago that propects used to have to bust their balls to earn their patch and everything was done in house there'd be some one in the shadows who's job it was to make the patch

Like many things.

Once upon a time it took at least 7 years of training and a lot of hard work, blood, sweat and tears to obtain your Blackbelt or shodan, now you can get given one after a year or so of attending classes and some coin.

Thankfully some traditional arts like Kyokushin have retained their prerequisites for each student to progress through the grades.

Don't worry, I'm sure anyone caught wearing an online purchased patch would get their balls well and truly busted.

Absofuckinglutely. I've dealt with many hard cunts over the years. So many wanna be *hard cunts* here, on KB, want to come across as tough and hard..but they'd fucking shit themselves if fronted by the real deal. You don't know their worlds. Stick to what you know.
