A '3 piece patch' consists of a central image, with a rocker patch top and bottom. Typically, the top rocker is the club name, the central image the club logo, and the bottom rocker the location of the wearer's club chapter. This 3 piece patch is known as 'colors'. Not all motorcycle clubs with colors are outlaws. However, if a group of riders has a 3 piece patch, that usually means they have been sactioned by the dominant, local MC. Typically you will see a small square patch with MC near the bottom rocker for Motorcycle Clubs.
