Have you ever wondered where motorcycle clubs like the Hells Angels and Blue Knights got their colors from? In almost every case biker club patches are the result of designs created by the club's founders. If you're starting your own club you'll have to design colors yourself or have someone else do it for you. Either way, you can't copy from another club without risking getting yourself in trouble.
The Art of Designing Colors
To get started it's important to note the importance of club colors. Custom patches are used rather than plain stock patches because clubs want their colors to be unique. Their colors serve as identification and a sign of mutual brotherhood. If every club simply used the same stock patches there would be no definitive separation between them.
Some clubs, like the Bandidos, use a logo that directly embodies the club name (it features a Mexican Bandido on a motorcycle). Other clubs, like bikers for Christ, use their colors to indicate what their mission is. The BFC club patch consists of an open Bible with a sword and flames to designate their mission of carrying the Gospel message. Regardless of which angle you go for the design should reflect something unique about your club.
The other thing to consider is your use of colors and imagery. If you want to be thought of as a club not to be messed with, use skulls, flames, and plenty of reds and blacks. If you're looking to present a more laid-back image use blues and gold's along with imagery that does not lend itself to violence or aggression.
When your design is finished there are plenty of companies like The Cheap Place that are happy to have them made for you. Best of all, most of them can do it pretty inexpensively.
