When you are starting a club, everyone wants the largest rockers out there. They fail to think, 'Hey will 3' high letters and 10 letters fit on a 12' wide patch?' It's not very likely. A rocker with 3' letters would have to be 3' high and I'm guessing about 20' wide. It would take one big fella to wear a 30' rocker. Most rockers have letters in the 2' to 2 3/4' high. ![]() If you have a 2 word or longer club name, you may need to use smaller letters to keep the length down. You can make more of a curve, but that does not look good with large letters. You also need to consider the length of what's on the bottom rocker. It looks best to make the bottom rocker the same size as the top, at least the same letter size. I have done lots of sets with the bottom rocker shorter than the top, but used the same size letters and that looks good. Another option we do, is to make a one piece patch that has the name incorporated into the design. We can also make a one piece patch that looks like a center patch with a bottom and top rocker. We do this by sewing one piece of fabric as the center patch and then embroider a top rocker right at and just above the top border of the center patch. It will curve around the center patch just like you started with a round center patch and butted the curved top rocker right up against the center patch. We do the same with the bottom rocker. The sides are cut out so it looks like a three piece. One of the big clubs on the East Coast started allowing small clubs to do this several years ago and the concept has been very popular. It also keeps the cost down. If you do 25 pieces it runs about 35.00 a patch, set up included. Lesser quantities run 140.00 for tape and 50.00 each. I can do patches in the 13' to 14' range this way. When trying to decide on a club name, customers tell me they don't know where to advertise the name to see if anyone else has it. Well, that was the way it was done many years ago, when Easyrider and other Biker Magazines had cheap classified ads. I have not seen one of those ads in 15 or more years. Today, I would do an internet search as there are sites that have hundreds of club names and sometimes contact info. In this day and age there are many clubs with the same or similar names. Unless they are a large club, in your area or a 1% club, I would not worry about it. Just do the best you can and try to find a name that's all yours. You also need to decide will the clubs be all male or will both sexes allowed membership. If both sexes are members, you need to take that into consideration when making your patches. You want ONE size patch to fit everyone. I hear all the time that we want a huge patch cause we have all xxl and xxxl size guys and then they want a 10' patch for the females. Well, I think the smaller people and not just the females will feel like lesser members because their patch is smaller and it ends up causing issues. You need to consider this upfront. Also, if you want two sizes, realize the cost will be higher having to make different size patches. ![]() The same goes for the top rockers. A 12 1/2' top rocker is about the biggest you can put on a medium vest. You have more room on a jacket than on a vest due to the sleeve cut outs.
