Default So Which Is The "Classic"?

I've been trying to find a Harley vest patch for my Electra Glide Classic. It seems Harley has discontinued the "Electra Glide" patch. All that is available now is a "Classic" patch. This is where I'm thinking would people think of the Electra Glide Classic or the Heritage Softail Classic? If I'm not mistaken they do make a "Heritage" patch so I'm thinking Electra Glide. What do ya'll think? (Apologize to all of the Road King Classics out there, no disrespect intended on omitting from poll. Just forgot about you. Is there a way to edit poll)

Don't forget the Road King Classic. I believe that "Classic" refers to the vintage style of the particular model. I don'e associate it with any one bike. I think the classic patch could be worn with any bike you're riding.That's just my opinion.

The patch is meaningful more to the wearer than the observer anyway.

So that patch but the colors and lettering script don't match up to the Harley patches. I already have one for my old Deuce on my vest and would like to keep them with the same look. Thanks.

DAMMT, I love this place. Lern sumtin nu, evreeday.
Wuz gonna shoot my mouth off, 'bout how can you have a "new" CLASSIC, BUT thought I best shek it owt, furst. Good thang !!!!

The word classic can be used as part of a retronym or as the part of the name for something new that is marketed on its similarities to something older.

Dun did my lernin' fer da day !!!!! NO APPLAUSE, Pleez, jus' tryin' ta keep up.

It is rather ironic, that I own a 1978 Electraglide, BUT you can buy a 2010 Electraglide CLASSIC. Go Finger.
