Default Is this a new or older patch?

Was wondering if I might be able to find it at a dealer

Looks new to me; I've never seen one B4.
Looks kinda on the fringes of the 81's, as in flyin' skulls,(deathhead) except with no teeth. If I was them I'd sue for trademark infringement.
I'd be real hesitant about wearing this...
It could get you into trouble in the wrong neighborhood.

I'm not into skulls, but I think that patch looks real cool! Send it to me, I'll wear it...

Those guys take that stuff very seriously.......
Not to mess with.. Keep a respectful distance.
Does the phrase "Does not play well with others" come to mind"?

That's a new patch and is no longer available from what I was told. It came out in January and was being put on several shirts as well as a patch. It has been pulled due to it's resemblance to the Hell's Angel patch, at least it has here in Chicago...

Well, if it was a single skull I could see how it would look like a HA patch.

I did some calling around and found some at a dealership near here. So they are still out there.

Funny I was shootin pool last night and was in a discussion with a rider who was in a club and how certain tatoo's and patches can get you into trouble if your not aware of who is around you!

So it's now unsafe to wear a patch if it vaguely resembles an M/C? Without the rockers it's not even close to an M/C. On this patch I don't see the resemblance to HA. I'm not shooting the messenger, just saying...

Well, maybe look at it this way. If you saw a picture in a magazine that almost exactly resembled your mother, including name and address, doing something very dispicable, wouldn't you take offense and do something about it?
M/C patches are very near and dear to the hearts of the club members.
