Signumanistics: what does this type of collecting mean?
Directions of collecting are not limited to well-known concepts. There are many names that few people have heard, or those that have appeared relatively recently. Signumanistics can be attributed to their number.
This direction of collecting is dedicated to the collection of emblems and inscriptions that are worn on clothes, hats, equipment. As a rule, these are textile or elastic polymer overlays. These include textile versions of metal signs, logos of clothing manufacturers, equipment, various informational or decorative elements.
It is believed that the term "signumanistics" was proposed by one of the most famous collectors of patches, Gennady Plotkin. This direction has recently separated from uniformology, since a patch is just an element of clothing. Also, as in the case of phylobutonics - collecting buttons.
There are sleeve, chest, back stripes, as well as stripes for headgear. At the same time, for wearing on pants, this type of decoration is quite rare.
Conditionally, stripes can be divided into uniform, corporate, sports, informal, advertising and souvenir.
Uniform patches are designed for uniforms, special equipment of paramilitary structures - army, police, fire and other chevrons.
Service or corporate patches adorn corporate clothing - jackets, shirts or T-shirts. This also includes the decor of the form of educational institutions, public and political organizations.
Sports patches are fixed on a sports uniform or equipment. So there is a tacit demonstration of belonging to a sports club, organization or team.
Informal patches may indicate that their wearer belongs to informal associations or movements. As a rule, more decorative function can be traced here.
The advertising and souvenir direction in the use of stripes speaks for itself: applying advertising information or timing to certain events.
