"Rules" for patches, pins and t-shirts

Tell about your "rules" to sew a patch or use a pin on a jacket and that ones to wear a Metal theme t-shirt.

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.

I feel like if you can name your favorite album by said band, it's worthy of owning a piece of merch for them

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.

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

Totally agree

Do whatever you like at all times

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.
