Some of the best factions in any Fallout game are the leather-jacketed, pompadoured greaser gangs that populate the wasteland. Whether in the Capital Wasteland, the Mojave, or the Commonwealth, these greasers add color and style to the post-apocalypse. Now, you can get some of their styles directly from Bethesda themselves with patches emblazoned with their gang logos.
For more than 10 years, these gangs have been a staple of the wasteland. Fallout’s ‘50s-inspired aesthetics would just be missing something without the greaser-inspired gangs, who look like they’re straight from a James Dean movie. They brave the wasteland, somehow finding hair gel in the ruins of civilization, in the single-minded pursuit of looking cool. From the Vault-dwelling Tunnel Snakes in Fallout 3 to the Elvis impersonator Kings in Fallout: New Vegas to the power armor hot rodder Atom Cats in Fallout 4, these gangs embodied the cool aesthetic of ‘50s bad boys, complete with coifed hair and leather jackets with their logos on the back.
Bethesda announced that you’ll be able to purchase the logos on the official Bethesda Gear Store as embroidered patches. You can purchase the Tunnel Snakes snake logo, the Kings crown logo, and the Atom Cats mushroom cloud and cat logo.
The patches measure eight inches, which means they aren’t as big as the leather jacket logos in the games. So while you won’t be able to make a Tunnel Snakes cosplay with these patches, they are the perfect size to sew onto a jacket or bag or anything, really. They make a great accessory for anyone who wants to look like the coolest cat in Freeside or wants everyone to know that the Tunnel Snakes Rule.
Plus, when it comes to Fallout merch, they are pretty cheap, compared to most of Bethesda’s branded products at only $20. Furthermore, these items are actually wearable public, which is something that sets it apart from some other video game merch. Fallout fans will recognize the logos from the games. Even for those unfamiliar with the Fallout franchise, these are, nonetheless, cool patches with neat designs. You can’t exactly say the same about, say, a Pip-Boy replica.
