FROM BLACKLABELSOCIETY.NET

The following was written up by fellow board member DaveUK (Keep in mind that this is a worldwide problem, not just the UK!)

Attention to all UKSDMFer's. Please read this information. As many of you may or may not know, there are some serious issues in the UK regarding the Black Label Society back patches, and the Motor Cycle clubs of Britain.

Since the BLS patches first started to appear in the UK, there has been a hostile response to them from the MC's. However, up until the summer of 2005 the situation was largely not known about by BLS fans. This situation changed dramatically in Manchester during the 2005 tour. As any BLS fan will know a small contingent of Satan's Slaves MC's turned up at the Manchester show to vent their hostility towards the wearing of the BLS patches. It culminated in the show being canceled.

Since then, things have gone from bad to worse.

The Manchester incident was seen by the MC's of Britain as a clear warning and message to Zakk and BLS that the 3 piece back patch set, which is copied from the kind of 3 piece back sets that MC's have to earn, was unacceptable in the UK without either permission or clearance to display it and wear it from the leading MC's of Britain. Despite repeated attempts by UK fans to address this issue on the official zakkwylde.com forums, to date no permission or clearance has been sought, and no statement regarding the matter has been made. It must be pointed out that UK fans now know that this was in no way Zakks fault. The seriousness of the matter was never brought to his attention by the staff of his forums. The matter has since been brought to Zakks attention through dialogue with a leading representative of the UKSDMF forum, RoadRunner UK, and Zakks European promoter. Zakk and his management are said to be deeply concerned and are in the process of making a statement.

The British based BLS tribute band Sonic Brew, and the owner of the UKSDMF forum have been in contact with the two leading British MC's, Hells Angels and Outlaws. Both MC's have been extremely helpful, patient and courteous in this matter. They have made it clear that they have nothing against UK BLS fans, and have no wish for any conflict with us (what a relief). Their issue is solely with the patches and BLS insignia. They have made it clear that should they see anyone wearing them, they WILL remove them and confiscate them. Therefore it is strongly advised that no one in the UK should be seen either wearing or displaying BLS back or front patches, or any T shirts or other clothing displaying BLS insignia until the situation is resolved. Doing so will only put oneself at risk and inflame the situation even further.
Thank you for reading.
Stay safe.

To say you own a 3 piece patch design is bull s hi t. The emblems on the patch is a different matter. I earned patches in the military that had a top and bottom rocker with middle emblem. I earned a sleave rocker and if I want to wear a large rocker from that on my back I'll do it. If some one touches me saying they're going to remove it, well, it all depends on how many they want to throw away trying. I spent 9 years draging and M-16, M-60, and a M-19 and earned what I have and defended their rights to wear theirs and there are a lot of people like me out there. You got some serious VETS coming home today and these little bike booty buddies better start wathcing their ***.

Their legal team is apparantly second to none.

Speaking of 99% clubs who aren't public service (leo, fire fighters, or military).... Other than BFMC are there any other LARGE clubs who wear a 3 piece patch?

Keep in mind that the dominant MCs have plenty of members from the Special Forces, Navy SEALs, Marines, demolition experts, and so forth from all branches of the military. Many of them carry weapons, and will use them.

A good biker friend of mine, who served in Vietnam, was a member of a 3-piece patch veterans MC. He was (died a couple of years ago) a big dude, and absolutely fearless.

Unfortunately, while a little inebriated, he accidently touch the patch belonging to a member of a Big Four MC, and that got him ejected from his own MC.

Hundreds.

LARGE clubs as in international? There's a dozen or so, and another dozen or so that are national within their respective countries. Most of the rest are "local", sometimes with chapters in a couple of states, other times with a few chapters in one state.

There are over 100 clubs in California that identify themselves as "outlaw".

You and the rest of the vets earned the right to wear your military patches and any rockers that might be appropriate to wear with them.

MC members also earned the right to wear their colors.

When they see someone pretending to be someone that they are not, they feel the same way that you would feel if you saw someone who has never served walking around in BDU's that he bought at a surplus store wearing a ribbon rack that he bought from Medals of America.

And a lot of these serious vets are members of various MCs and they take their MC patches every bit as seriously as they take their military patches.

On Episode 11 of Season 1 if you watch the first seen when their in the club house there's a 1% on the lamp above the pool table. You can probably see it on other episodes. It's just the first I've noticed it.
