I believe the 'soft colors' would refer to sweatshirts with the bike gangs logo on it. If you watched Son of Anarchy, they would often wear hoodies with a smaller logo after they were out on bail.
From Wiki
The River Run Riot was a violent confrontation between the Hells Angels and the Mongols motorcycle clubs that occurred on April 27, 2002, in Laughlin, Nevada during the Laughlin River Run. The conflict began when members of the Hells Angels went to Harrah's Laughlin to confront members of the Mongols who had allegedly harassed vendors that sold Hells Angels related merchandise. Mongol Anthony Barrera, 43, was stabbed to death, and two Hells Angels, Jeramie Bell, 27, and Robert Tumelty, 50, were shot to death.
This was the first time that there were multiple murders in a Nevada casino.
Six members of the Hells Angels, as well as six members of the Mongols were sent to prison as a result of the event, and 36 other people had their charges dismissed.[3] Frederick Donahue, one of the Hells Angels indicted after the incident, evaded capture for six years before surrendering in July 2008.
The stabbing was captured on film and can be seen on youtube, although it gets taken down fairly regularly.
Bill, thanks for this explanation! I was wondering also what that sign meant!
