Especially if it just automatically used their flash patches, and they were so used to them that they didn't consider the likely reaction to something like a rubber swiss army knife, or upside down rubber duckie.
A motorcycle gang, what would their name be?
It's a serious question, before you ask. My two agents are being tossed head-first into a Sons of Anarchy story (great show, but oh my god, the Sueage in the fics). They're being disguised as a motorcycle club (they might just end up being SOA members...), and I have no idea what the back patch on their jackets/vests would be.
Any ideas?
Oh--here's the fic that I'm killing: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6146311/1/YouretheOnlyOne
(Author's summary) Aurora Scrymgeour is the first and only female member of the Sons of Anarchy. She became president after her father's sudden death, and has to deal with the criticism and advances of the other presidents and members. Can she handle it all?
(My comments) Kill the dirty name thief! And: No female full-patch members. Period. Outlaw motorcycle clubs don't accept women as full patch members. EV-AR. Well, Hell's Angels have (had) at least one, maybe three, full-patch member who were women (but that was in the 50s, no further reports after that, so...).

I remember venturing into that fandom. And then backing out at high speed. Jesus, how many lost sisters/lovers of Jax does SAMCRO need?
I would be tempted to vote for Clan of the Cactus too, but I'm not sure that would fly in SAMCRO land. So my money's on a Pratchett reference--the Silver Horde. There's already a real MC called the Mongols, and that's not so far off.
At any rate, I do think you could have some fun with the patches. Not just the main colors, but the upper and lower rocker and the other patches that tend to turn up on the colors--like how normal MCs may have the skull patch to show a member who's killed for the club, the PPC patches could start normal and get increasingly bizarre. Maybe a syringe for surviving FicPsych? XD
One of the spin-offs was called that, but it has been used more than once to refer to agents in the DMS. So, assuming that's where your agents work, it seems fitting. Also, seconding what Calista said about flash patch logo as back patch. {= )

If their flashpatch is a three eyed rubber ducky or a pink balloon animal, the biker gangs might not take them too seriously. ;)
