I believe that wearing someone's badge would be more appropriate, 
heraldicly speaking, since wearing someone's registered Arms would be 
akin to impersonation.  (Think about being in a set of plate with 
someone else's shield).  Wearing a badge would indicate a relationship 
with the person.

This is one of the reasons that putting the Kingdom Arms on your car 
gets a heraldic snicker from me -- it indicated that the King (himself, 
in the flesh) is inside.  Imagine seeing an entire parking lot of cars 
with the same sticker.  (Of course if you understand the King as a 
particle in a Heisenberg relationship with the cars it makes more sense, 
but it then begs the question:  Is His Majesty a particle or a wave?...)
