Patch Over Edit Meaning

1.

When members of one motorcycle club, are incorporated into a much larger motorcycle club. Thus, the unification results in the former club no longer existing. Its members subsequently trade in their previously worn club colours, or "patch over", for the colours of the larger club. These patches are usually worn on the back of a vest or jacket, and display a club's name, the owner's name and rank, and chapter of said club.

"The P.R.'s will patch over to the H.A.'s. The membership will substantially grow."
