List of Hells Angels support clubs

Last updated

Larger outlaw motorcycle clubs have been known to form support clubs, also known as "satellite clubs", which operate each with their own distinctive club name but are subservient to the motorcycle club that has established them. They offer support to the principal club in a number of different ways. This can include providing them with protection, financing or carrying out violent acts at the discretion of the larger club. Logos and insignias of support clubs displayed as patches on biker vests may bear a similar color scheme reminiscent of the logo belonging to the principal club as a way of signifying their allegiance.
