Geeky Sporran

**Failed God** · 15th February 11, 04:34 PM

Ok I am new to the kilted way of life. I am a nerd or geek whichever you prefer. I would like to bring in some of my hobbies into my kilt wearing. So i was curious.

Are there sporrans out there with nerd tooling? Perhaps something like a day sporran with the shield or tri force from the legend of zelda? Or maybe one with a bass clef tooled into since i play bass.

Thanks in advance
Frank

Nighthawk does some great leatherwork. I bet he would work with you on one.

I prefer the term "geek" personally. Indeed, I have a navy blue t-shirt with that single word on it that I often wear with my Scottish National kilt. Looks great.

Anyway, I believe I've seen a pic of a sporran with one of the Transformers symbols on it posted here. But I'm sure it was handmade or custom-made. So if you are able to pay for the personalization, I'm sure you can find someone to attach or emboss or whatever some appropriate symbol onto some leather for you.

Good luck!

I remember seeing a few pics of sporrans with Rebel Alliance symbols from Star Wars as well as the Punisher's logo made by Donnie at Wyvern Leatherworks I think.

They are the third entry or so.

I'm glad I'm not the only one...I've been wanting a sporran with a Starfleet logo and a mess jacket for my next convention.

i would absolutely love a rebel alliance sporran and an imperial logo sporran or one that has a way to change the logo.

I've seen a few sporran makers who make the flap detachable so you can swap in flaps with tartan, different designs, etc. That's a pretty cool idea since you could have as many designs as you want without having to pay for that many sporrans. You might check into that.

I'm thinking the Klingon insignia would be simpler, and a bit more subtle sign of geekiness...

Yeah. I think you have a point. The Trekkers are my "tribe" anyhow. A Romulan insignia would look really cool on a sporran...and wouldn't look too out of place. You could even go somewhat obscure and put a Maquis, Borg, Cardassian, Breen, Dominion or Ferengi symbol on it. I've worn a Bajoran uniform badge as a kilt pin and nobody made the connection.

I like 'geek' as well. So much, that I have the screen name 'Geek' on a particular Online Service. I have that same shirt - wife bought if for XMAS one year and she has one that says 'I Live My Geek'
