VRA Chapter members have a number of options for wearing patches. While the standard VRA logo patch is recognized internationally as a symbol of membership in the VRA, chapter members can also wear custom patches to represent their individual chapter as shown below. Before creating any patches that will represent the VRA, please read and understand the Official VRA Graphics Standards 2018 guide here.

Custom patches with an outer ring must be ordered through a local vendor. Cost is usually around $9.00 each for a 4″ patch.

MC Patches vs RC Patches

No chapter location bars, territory rockers, or anything giving the appearance of a rocker should be worn with the VRA patch.1

The type of patch somewhere wears indicates what type of club they belong to: 2

  • A one-piece patch signifies a riding club, family club, AMA- sanctioned riding club or political action/biker rights organization.
  • A three-piece patch signifies a “motorcycle club” or 1% club.  3-piece patches must be approved by the dominant motorcycle club in the state.
