Embroidered Biker Patch

During the summer months we are hard at work creating custom biker pins and embroidered patches for clubs doing various events, and whenever possible we like to give credit to the great causes we have the pleasure of being involved with.  
                                            
We recently created a lapel pin for the American Firefighters Motorcycle Club based out of Chicago and I feel they have a story and event lined up that is definitely worth sharing.  This September will mark the 10 year anniversary of 9/11.  To commemorate this event and to honor the heroes and loved ones lost that day, the American Firefighters M/C will be embarking on a ride from Chicago to New York.  The ride will start on September 6th, with stops in Shanksville, Gettysburg, DC, and finally New York.  To learn more about this ride and the travel accommodations being made, please click here to learn more about the American Firefighters M/C 9/11 Ride.

With the Special Olympics World Games almost upon us we have had the great opportunity to create many custom lapel pins, custom embroidered patches, and custom challenge coins that have been used to raise awareness and funds for this great organization.  Here at Recognition Services we just wanted to take a minute to say thank you to those of you we have had the pleasure of working with for these events.  More importantly we want to say thank you to all the supporters and sponsors of Special Olympics events around the world. 

Each year people from all walks of life and all corners of society will come together in support of the Special Olympics games and participants.  We have seen local Lions Club Members get involved, law enforcement officials take pride in a traditional torch run, and even bikers organizing fundraiser rides for Special Olympics. 

If you are not already involved with this great organization I encourage you to click on this link to see how you can get involved with a program in your area.  It is always a pleasure working with the members of these organizations and their supporters, their spirit of service and humbleness is truly inspiring.

For the past few years Recognition Services has been supplying Indian Motorcycle with custom made lapel pins, embroidered motorcycle patches, and even cosmetic parts for their bikes.  As a licensed vendor we recently found out that Indian Motorcycle was acquired by Polaris, you can read more about this acquisition here.  We just wanted to take a moment to let you know that for Indian Motorcycle and their licensees it is business as usual.  If you are wanting to make a Indian Motorcycle custom pin or embroidered patch then please do not hesitate to contact us and we would be happy to design a great piece for your group.

On another note as the weather changes, the trees begin to bloom, and the wind gets warmer it means that riding season is officially upon us.  Make sure when you go out to stay safe and wear your gear.  To everyone else not on a motorcycle, like the saying goes "Be aware, Motorcycles are Everywhere!".  Every year we are asked to do fallen biker patches and our hearts go out to the families affected.  Stay safe and enjoy the ride! 

Cody Alicea was just a normal 13 year old boy who was proud of his country and the veterans, including his grandfather, who served for his freedom.  That is why he was proud to display an American flag on his bike as he rode back and forth to school.  A very commendable action for a young man to take, and an example to us all for how to display what we are proud of and what we support. 

Unfortunately the school system of Denair thought it unsafe for the flag to be on Cody's bike, and therefore made him remove it from his bike.  This action not only upset Cody and his family, but the local chapter of American Legion Riders and veterans from all around the nation.  We have had the privilege of creating many custom coins, biker pins, and embroidered patches for the American Legion Riders of the years, so it was great to see our product in the national spotlight in the below news segment.  The American Legion Riders are a fantastic group of men and women and I was not surprised at all at their outreach and support to Cody and his family.  We are proud to support the American Legion Riders and commend the work they do. 

If you are part of a motorcycle club, there is no doubt you either own or have considered purchasing all the motorcycle gear. An essential piece of the motorcycle club look is the embroidered biker patch. These custom embroidered patches allow others to identify that you are an official member of a particular group or club.

Most bikers take great pride in their motorcycle gear and custom patches. One of the most common type of biker patches are the biker back patches worn on the back of the biker’s gear. In the video below, you can see an example of a motorcycle group that is proud to show off their embroidered biker patches.

Contact us today if you are interested in a custom patch for your biker group so you can show off your biker back patches like the motorcycle group in the video.

The typical “biker” outfit is made up of vests, long pants, boots and helmets. Biker back patches or smaller embroidered motorcycle patches are often worn on biker jackets to show allegiance to a particular biker group. They can also be worn to show honor for a fallen rider. Embroidered motorcycle patches not only show allegiance to a biker group, but they can also be representative of certain personal characteristics such as a nickname. Whatever the purpose, we can help design a custom embroidered patch for your biker club or group.

Our custom biker patches can come in one piece, two piece or three piece sets to fit the needs for your biker group. We have experience creating custom patches for many groups including law enforcement, motorcycle clubs and event rally committees. Design and artwork is free with your confirmed order. Look for our ad in Easy Rider Magazine this summer and be ready to look tough with your large biker back patch or smaller embroidered motorcycle patch. Keep the paint up and the rubber down!

We also offer custom emblems, pins, badges, key chains and other promotional items for motorcycle clubs.

Patch collections and trading are widely popular among law enforcement, military, Police, Fire/EMS and Scout groups. There are several trading web sites used to match those seeking certain custom patches with those that have these embroidered patches in their collection. Forums even exist with people posting ads about unique patches they are hoping to purchase. It’s hard to say how patch trading got its start, but many believe it was from the Boy Scouts of America.

Scouts from around the world would meet up to form large gatherings. As they began to share stories and develop friendships, it became natural to want to hold on to that relationship after they returned home. Patch trading began to serve as a token of remembrance for such gatherings and friendships.  

As patch trading began to evolve it became a larger part of the national gatherings among Scouts. To this day, patch trading continues to take place and has spread to several other distinguished groups where higher honors and ranks are often represented by wearing a patch on one’s uniform. There are many patch traders out there looking for custom patches from a particular area of service or location.  From Police patches and custom military patches, to Motorcycle and Biker Back Patches, the numbers of patches one can trade are increasing every day.

We provide custom embroidered patches for such groups with a variety of options. Visit our custom embroidered patch web page for more information on custom patches for your group or organization.
