Wide Awakes Return – 3” Heraldic Patch
History repeats—but this time, we’re ready.
This bold embroidered patch is a modern reinterpretation of political insignia, inspired by the Wide Awakes, the 1860s anti-slavery youth movement that helped propel abolitionist politics—and Lincoln—to power. Designed like a coat of arms or militant tour emblem, it weaves history and revolution into one stitched symbol of resistance.
At its center, a heraldic shield features the red diagonal banner “WIDE AWAKES”, framed by the years 1860 and 2025—linking past to present. Eyes and stars represent vigilance.
Banners surrounding the patch demand:
“FREE SOIL • FREE HOMES • LANDBACK • REPARATIONS • FREE SPEECH • FREE MEN”
✨ Details:
✔ 3” embroidered patch

Gloomy optimism never looked so good.
Wear it like armor. March like it's 1860—and 2025.
