Default Silly Patch Question

I'm facing a silly dilemma over which main patch to wear on my vest. I've been riding with a CMA patch for a couple of years. I'm still an active member of my local CMA chapter. But, my church is the Salvation Army, and they are just starting up a local chapter of the SA Motorcycle Ministry here where I live, and I will be an active member there too. Finally, I just joined The Texas Hill Country chapter of HOG, and I will be doing a lot of riding with that group. I could get three vests with three different patches, but that seems over the top to me. So, without necessarily picking one, could you share your thoughts on how you would go about deciding which patch you'd wear on the back of your vest, assuming that smaller patches of the other organizations would appear on the front. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Why do you feel you "need" to have a patch??

You should just get a smiley-face with a doo-rag for all three. You seem to get along with everybody.

You're right, silly question....

How about Velcro? Like all the "tactical" guys use. They put the loop side on their "tactical" stuff and the hook side on their patches. Then you can change them at will.

If you want to wear a patch the Velcro is the way to go. My friend belongs to a couple HOG chapters and American Legion he uses Velcro for the patch's depending who he is riding with as to which patch he wears.

Maybe use whoever you ride with the most? Or just use some kind of image or something you are fond of and then put actual membership patches on the front?

Wow, look at that, I gave you an answer without trolling...some people smh.

EDIT: The velcro thing isn't a bad idea.

I'd just get one big patch that says

"I Belong"

and forget the rest of them

Yeah, the velcro thing. That way, if one of the other groups gets all territorial and you get caught, when they take your patch, it won't tear your vest.
