Do You Still Have Your Old Adidas Or All-Nighter Bags, And Do You Still Use Them?

Posted

Here are my 2 covered with all my fav patches, i have been using them for years, so they have seen plenty of action! :g:

They dont hold a change of clothes & shoes, just my Hypoglycemia/diabetic food & testing kit, its like taking out a huge handbag! :yes:

Im sorry, its probably not everyone's cup of tea! :g:

But all the patches have alot of meaning for me, some are all the soul nights i have been to, a few were my own design & the others were left to me by my best friend, who is no longer with me.

The red one is quite strange, its made up of a heavy, but hard sack like cloth, i was not sure if i liked it at first, but it does have a larger space inside, which was handy, as women seen to carry too much! :g:

My Dad used to have an identical one to the red one, except that the plastic sections were royal blue rather than red. Yeah, lovely hessian design, you do not see many of them about.thumbsup.gif

Pete may not have his original bag anymore(due to wear n tear and it would of been 38yrs old. zips n handles eventually break over the years ,when regularly used, being dragged through train and bus stations and being sat on when theres no seats and used as pillows and are took to every venue and are pulled open by the "squad" when being searched.....to find an original one in immaculate condition must be worth a fortune) but he still has alot of his original badges from his long distant youth. my bag and badges disappeared into the twilight zone long ago...never to be seen again. But i now have a new collection of badges some original(that my dear better half has either given me or bought me) and more recent badges. but in general ,

venues i have visited both past and present.

Ian Turner (soulminer) still uses his, spare shirt, deodarant, book of excuases for being late home etc etc :thumbup:

I spotted a Capital Soul Club badge ohmy.gif I had no idea the Dome sold patches.

Let's be honest , putting those patches on a bag is the equivelent of your grandad putting those shields on his walking stick

I got mine years ago from some chap who was walking around & selling them in there, but my friend got one from E bay.

Found my Capital Soul Club membership card the other day, thought that went ages ago :sleep3:
