Our chapter sells the Blue Knight reflective back patches which not only look good but are a great safety item when riding at night. We have a page on our website where we like to post photos of members wearing the reflective patches. I see someone from your chapter purchased the smaller 4 inch front reflective patch in October 2006. I’d be happy to send out a free WI XI challenge coin if we receive a photo of a Blue Knight wearing the crest set or reflective patch that we use on the web page.
