Colors
The colors for some clubs can consist of a single, one-piece logo, while other clubs may have a three- (or more) piece logo and are often referred to as plaques. They are commonly replicated in a metal such as aluminum or steel and are polished and or chromed and detailed with paint and are displayed in the rear window of the lowrider attached by brackets. This displays the vehicle and owners club affiliation.
The club plaque in any form always remain property of the club itself, not the member, and only members are allowed to wear the clubs colors. A member closely guards his colors. Allowing ones colors to fall into the hands of an outsider is an act of disgrace and may result in loss of membership in a club, or worse.

Famous quotes containing the word colors:
“In Haydn’s oratorios, the notes present to the imagination not only motions, as, of the snake, the stag, and the elephant, but colors also; as the green grass.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Adultery is the vice of equivocation.
It is not marriage but a mockery of it, a merging that mixes love and dread together like jackstraws. There is no understanding of contentment in adultery.... You belong to each other in what together you’ve made of a third identity that almost immediately cancels your own. There is a law in art that proves it. Two colors are proven complimentary only when forming that most desolate of all colors—neutral gray.”
—Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)
“Few colors last; with their eternal thirst, time and light suck on them, and they bleach the black doctor’s hat until it’s grey like a dunce’s cap.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
