Classic northern soul keep the faith emblem t-shirt. This anthemic slogan is often associated with the UK Northern Soul scene of the 1970s, appearing on sew-on patches & as a t shirt motif. It is usually seen encircling a black clenched-fist. This image originates from the Black Power civil-rights movement in 1960s America & was a sign of defiance promoted by groups such as the Black Panthers. More specifically, the design echoes the salutes given by African-American athletes on the rostrums at the Olympic Games in Mexico, 1968.
