@miles-ladue These are GREAT, and would make great stickers as you suggested. T-shirts for USCA as well.
Consult Mr. Baker first for sure.
I've always coveted the patch logo that used to be. Are they still provided with paid USCA membership?
Not at present. I still have one of the legacy 6” triangular patches if someone wants one. We are moving to the new logo in white on a black background with gold lettering. These are not yet available but will be by the end of September if things go s planned. They will have a cost which has yet to be determined. I’m waiting on response from the vendor.

I made the decision way back when to not join Facebook. I have mostly limited my interactions online to a few forums such as this. An old graybeard I suppose... I'd certainly hate to see this Association forsake this traditional type forum for one of the large social media platforms, but I expect there's a point where resources get spread too thin.
Anyhow, I think tokens such a stickers, patches, etc could certainly help extend the message. Local chapters (is that a thing?) could spread at yearly shows and events. I always get plenty of questions from folks at the various car and bike gatherings I attend locally. A test run of a few years anyway could see if new memberships are a result.
Does this site have a page, open to everyone, documenting the history of the USCA? Interesting pictures from the past, notable members, events, logos etc. A heritage usually seems to help draw folks in. I searched around a bit... did I simply miss it?
@panhead_kicker I did Facebook and quit it twice because of the effect it had on my demeanor (and my wife’s well being), so you are not alone.
As for history, on the Sidecar Library ( https://sidecar.com/sidecar-library/ ) where much of the archives of the organization are located. We don’t really have an historian per se and I am often surprised by information held by individuals.
