The 2nd Club House was on Dagget St, 3rd club House was on west st (corner of West St. and Congress Ave), 4th was on Ella Grasso Blvd and the 5th is at Chazmo Cafe on Dixwell Ave. The name FLAMING KNIGHTS came from the way the fellows were promiscuous with the ladies, so since they thought they were hot it was suggest, by their ladies, that they call themselves FLAMING KNIGHTS. The SCHOLEY(colors) 5 GENERATIONS: The 1st was embroidery (Red Writing with Gold Trim) with the word FLAMING on top and KNIGHT on bottom ... MC on the right below the word KNIGHT and to the left of MC was a english castle guard and later a knight on horse ... and New Haven was below MC and symbol. The 2nd was a 3 piece patch with the same embroidery on yellow terry cloth red writing. The 3rd was a 4 piece rockers with a knight on a motorcycle as the center piece. The 4th was a single yellow patch shape like a long-gated circle FLAMING KNIGHTS on top ... MC to the right .... a standing FLAMING KNIGHT holding a round shield on fire with the word ROY (in memory of King Dragon) in the saddle bag on the motorcycle in the center of the shield - in the center of the patch ... the location of the chapter at the bottom of the patch.
