interweaved history and members that date back to 1969,

although the Club stayed together during World War II, like most
organizations at that time, the Clubs activities were limited. In May
of 1946 the first major post war motorcycle event in the midwest was
held at Soldier Field, in Chicago. |

members of 1935 the Club grew in size, with members from all over
the Chicago area. The Club decided to change its` name from The
McCook Outlaws to The Chicago Outlaws and moved out of
McCook, re-establishing itself in Chicago.

It was also decided
to completely change the Club logo. A small skull replaced a winged
motorcycle and old english style letters were adopted. This design was
embroidered on a black shirt and hand painted on leather jackets.
1954,
saw the addition of the Crossed Pistons to the original small skull.
This design was embroidered on a black western style shirt with white
piping. |

the Skull and Crossed Pistons
were redesigned, making them much larger with more detail. 1960, saw
the last major design change to the Club logo, looking the same
style as it does today. 1963, the Outlaws MC became an official
member of the then functional 1%er Brotherhood of Clubs, making it
the first true 1%er Club east of the Mississippi.
