Tomangoes Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 In 1975 I got my first and last 'Northern Soul - Keep the faith' woven soul patch and quickly had it sewn onto my new Fred Perry polo shirt. At school, I thought I was some boy, but alas, upon going to the local Soul Night, where there was 'bigger boys' it did not go down well, and was the butt of a few jokes. Lesson Learned. The trend for advertising your love of this scene at that point must have reversed 180 degrees and it was no longer cool to do that although obviously, the clothes were still a give away. Fast forward 32 years, and has it now turned again, as I see more and more 'labelling' on clothes worn at soul nights. Should Nothern Soul be 'worn with pride' or quickly buried as before???
Barry Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 There was something about it on here recently, I think the general consencus was it was a bit azzy. Myself, I love me patches, wouldn't part with 'em for the world.

Guest Bearsy Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Ive got some Nicorette patches Does that count only if you put one over your eye Me personally i think they look silly on grown ups, i had some patches sewn over the holes in the knees of me jeans when i was a kid and that was superduper embarrasing,
Col Wolfe Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Naff. Go to a soul nite/niter, everybody there knows you like soul, or why else would you be there? So why bother? As for people in the street, work, etc, "Look at me! I like soul! See, I wear a badge that says so!" who cares? word pokemon - gotta collect em all! I have a fair few but I keep em in a biscuit tin ('family favourites' in case you're wondering...) my favourite one is 'lowestoft soul' it does exactly what it says on the ('family favourites') tin

Guest Mart B Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Naff. Why on earth does anyone in this day and age need to wear a northern soul badge,it went out in the 7ts.Out and about in the 8ts it was very rare to see anyone wearing a soul badge it was frowned upon.People who wear them now are on a nostalgia trip along with their BAGS and other cheap memrobilia imo!leave your badges in your draw along with your 7TS soul club memberships!. If this thread annoys anyone its meant to .
Guest Bearsy Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Bearsy how things change worn threadbare jeans rips on the knees Its called fasion now mate Bet you wished you wouldnt have put them patches on em now they would look like cycling shorts now And they werent soul patches they were old jean pockets off of me dads work jeans and the worst bit was everyne bloody knew it too
Guest moggy Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Nowt wrong with keeping hold of the old soul patches Wearing them now though, mmm not my cup of tea but they were a part of the scene and I bet theres not many who didnt own a few at one time in there past & were proud to have worn them either on the clothes or bags especially the anniversary one from different venues Suppose there like an old very played out oldie You respect the part it played But as you got older You grew to loath them

Winnie:-) Yes On the charity ones its totaly different You are showing you support a charity and have made a donation towards it, simple one that On shirts at matches, only buy em for the kids, but to answer the point, those that wear club shirts do so not only to show there colours but also to help finance the club, albeit in a small way, shirts at football matches is a part of the modern game, patches at soul venues is a thing of the past I mean when and where was the last venue you attended that gave out a patch, its a free CD now or something along them lines its not a patch cos, well, they are a bit naff these days
Mark Bicknell Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Yeah, lots of difference. Football, to Identify you from the opposition. As for the charity badge thing, it'sa case of "Look at me, arn't I sooo worthy, I gave a £1 or whatever" BIG DEAL. Lots of people give, without having to proclaim it to all and sundry.

Guest Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Personally I don't like them, just not my thing and I'm too young to have gone anywhere in the 70s/80s when they were given out but I couldn't care less if some people like to wear them. Personal choice, wear what you want, look how you want.....I couldn't care as I'm just interested in the music Adam.

Winnie:-) My sentiments exactly Win....Why people feel the need to make the Northern soul scene superior than most walks of life is beyond me...in everyday society....people who have very strong interest in activities...music...collecting etc....will always show their allegience in certain ways...and yes to most of the ultra mature out there...this may seem a tad strange....but to me...why should one hide what one really enjoys???....who the hell are ya trying to impress?...if people want to show their allegience in a mor obivious way...why are others so intent in ridiculing?? Live And Let Live...is my motto....Delxx

Most home games at any ground the opposition probably numbers less than 10% I buy tottenham shirts to show allegiance to my club, really can't see the difference with people wearing badges. I've also worn shirts that proclaim support for MS, it's not because I want to say "Look I'm worthy", its because I believe it to be a worthwhile cause that should be high-lighted. Just a form of advertising I suppose, but personally I don't see anything wrong in it. Moggy it doesn't enter my head I'm financing the club when I buy a shirt, I do it cos they're my team, and I'm proud of them, however good or bad they're doing. Winnie:-)

Guest Polyvelts Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Wear what you like - it dont bother me. As a badge of pride perhaps soul patches should be updated to suit 2007. How about 'I spend thousands on average sounds', 'Anniversary Patch of hip replacement', 'Ok Okay Okeh ! I'm Bald !' Any others ? Wear with pride.
Guest Ranger Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Went to a venue last weekend and saw a guy wearing a bowling shirt with half a dozen patches sewn on the front. I'm not knocking anyone's right to wear what they want but it just made him look like a darts player. Kev
Guest bill storey Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Hey you know what, I have a couple of bought badges on a t shirt that I keep for when I get a bit sweaty on the dance floor, I know a lot of people disagree with wearing patches from a venue that you never visited but so what, I never went to Wigan but I still wear a patch, this doesn't take it away from folks that were there it should make them more proud to have been part of a club that is now a major legend. As for looking stupid, my young un goes out with some seriously knackered jeans halfway off his arse a, sweatshirt that is too big and a tee shirt over the top, pretty much the same as his mates, now they look proper pratts never mind soul fans wearing the odd patch.

Guest gordon russell Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 totally naff....they are usually worn by people who need to tell the world and others on the soul scene that they belong to an exclusive gang. they tend to go with the more comercial side of things along with stupid stickers in ya car window, great big baggy trousers and carrying an over night bag even though you live just around the corner. saw two people at cleggy dressed just like this and l laughed like a bloody drain.....that whole side of the scene makes me embarresed ...these people have become characutures however you don,t get it to much at the more serious soul do,s. thats why l feel there are two scenes THE SOUL SCENE for soul lovers and the NORTHERN SCENE for the rest

Wouldn't be my choice to wear badges & specific soulie wear, but certainly wouldn't take the P or put down people who do ! In fact i think i would much rather be in the company of people enjoying the music & having a good time whatever they have got on, than be with a bunch of moaners who think the whole point of it all is just to feel superior than any other type of music lover.

IMHO in think its doesn't matter either way. Its the tunes for me. I put on a previous post once that the greatest thing regarding the scene is the fact that the scene is "Individualistic in an umbillical way". I mean we can wear what we want, theres no set uniform and dance how we want, but we all agree on the tunes. I personally wont be getting my old scooter jacket out of the loft and wearing it again. Did look at it a few weeks ago and washed it. Was good to look at all the old 80's rally patches, great times. But i dont see nothing wrong with wearing patches, baggies or whatever takes our fancy. I just want to dance to the tunes and am not looking around the room to see what people are wearing, i leave that to my Mrs, who would be looking around the room hoping that she hasn't matched her clothing with anyone.

macca Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 (edited) although I never subscribed to the beer towell fad, I wore my two wigan badges with pride. they were like trophies to me, brought back from my first visit to the casino in february 1975. I later transferred them to my bag, an army surplus thing bought from millets, if I remember well. would I wear them in 2007? the answer is a rotund no, as they say in spain. it's more for esthetical reasons than anything else. I bought some records recently & they came with some lapel badges, palmer, tamla & gordy. I would have worn those on my levi jacket years back, but today I can't bring myself to wear them on my modern day equivalent. I would feel a bit mutton dressed as lamb. However, I certainly wouldn't knock anyone for wanting to belong to a historical re-enactment society. in fact I've always fancied myself as a puritan preacher at marston moor, but that's another story.

Now, what about scooters, aren't they also making a statement? I'll just reiterate I personally have no problem with any of the above, just trying to find out why some things are acceptable, whilst others are considered 'naff'. If you asked an outsider what they thought of as 'naff', probably all the things you mention would be on their list, plus they might also place celebrating 40 year old music into the pot
