Since the regiment is drawn from Hell's Angels its should be called the 81st ACR. 81 is a metonym. It stands for the 8th letter of the alphabet which is an H, and the 1st letter of the alphabet which is an A, HA = Hells Angels.

The regiment's motto would be "Red and White Forever". Red & White is another metonym; Red & White are the colors of the club.
