The stone s a beauty. Shiny black marble with the colors of the club s emblem painted in red, white and green it rests at the foot of Joey s grave for everyone to see. Big Joey s friends chose this way of recognizing their brother, knowing he would be proud to have his colors forever flying. Colors are a prized possession for motorcycle club members. They work hard to earn them and once earned wear them with great pride.
Colors are the club s logo, the patch that all members wear.
It identifies them. The Red Emerald s colors show a red emerald in the center with white pipes leading to red, yellow and white streamers. The lettering is done in green. Since most founding members were Irish the colors reflect their ethnic beginnings. There are strict rules about the design, where a member can put the logo, where it goes on his jacket and his responsibility to keep it safe.
