The Ride Safe patch

 by Editor on 02/03/14

We are excited to announce that Wizard Stitchery and Embroidery will be making our Ride Safe patches and waterproof stickers for the 2014 riding season. Many of you are familiar with our ride safe message from Vridetv's online store and in our social media networks. 

The Ride Safe patch: 

"May all your rides be safe & scenic,
Filled with blue skies & winding roads"

When designing this patch it was very important to us to be respectful to all the MC and RC Clubs. We spent a lot of time going through a number of colour combinations and decided on going with a colour pallet similar to the Harley-Davidson logo. Orange text and border to emphasize the Ride Safe message, and VRIDETV in a dark grey to blend into the black background.

The Ride Safe patches will be free with every $10 donation and come with a Ride Safe sticker. The donations will go towards the rising cost of operating expenses and the growth and development of Vridetv. Our goal is to continue keeping our entire website free for our viewers : )

 Send us an email at contact and reserve yours today.

Theses 2 1/2 x 4 inch patches and stickers are in production right now and will be ready to ship in 2-3 weeks. I will be posting pictures of the finished patch as soon as they arrive.

Here's a screen shot of the patch layout courtesy of Mike Oge
