I believe a lot of people think there should be rules like "patches for those who you've seen live" and "pins for those you wish to see" but I think you can wear whatever patch or pin you like, IF you're a fan. I wouldn't enjoy seeing people wearing random bs bands that they know nothing about, but to each their own.
It's just my personal justification for spending money on a shirt or a patch. Like, if I can't think of at least a record or two by them that I've listened to many times over, and/or own, then I can't justify representing them in my wardrobe. To each is own though, like people should wear whatever they want. my thing is that merch is expensive I can only buy a few shirts and patches a year
One of my friends insists that on a "mixed" jacket you should only have one patch of each band. Everyone else scoffs at this kind of limitation, and basically encourages everyone to do what they will.
I tend to have some self-imposed restrictions on certain projects, but I don't think there should be any universal rules whatsoever. It's important everyone gets to express themselves with their vests, jackets, shorts, aprons or whatever they choose to put stuff on.
I made some autistic rules for my battle jacket:
1) No more than one patch for an individual band on one side
2) If you have a pin that is the same band as a patch, it must go on the opposite side of the jacket
3) Avoid putting bands that start with the same letter next to each other (Morgoth, Master, Morbid, that's a violation!)
These were more to achieve a balance of feng-sui, rather than any other reason.
1.must reek of beer and virginity
2. autographs to impress the huzz if there were any
3. mandatory George Michael back patch
4. if you do not have a I love Katy Perry patch you aint cvlt
5. pins with backings are for pussies take the pain like a trve cvlt
if these rules are broken I shall curse thy to be flattened by the fat fuck in the pit
I always found the "only patches from bands you've seen live" very weird. Since there are enough 1 man solo projects that make patches. Would be sad if they would never sell a patch wouldn't it :P
Other rules? Not really I guess. I mean a simple rule would be to keep yourself safe. There are some rules in some specific countries. Some countries have still very strict religious rules and their religion is part of their government. You don't want to have your stuff confiscated for blasphemy or something. Would be a waste.

I feel like if you can name your favorite album by said band, it's worthy of owning a piece of merch for them
Gorgoroth on
Of course! If you wanna wear just any old shirt you know nothing about, go for it. I wont be mad but others might get confrontational.

If it’s unlicensed merch I think you should listen to the band at least a little bit.
If it’s official merch that the band is getting paid from who cares. If you just think the art is cool? Right on support the band.
Let’s be real some pretty shit bands have cool as hell art and merch.
Other than that rules are lame.
