Comment (by davidakennedy):

 Thanks for the request @pento!

 This is an interesting request, and something I'd consider. It ''can'' be
 accomplished with a child theme.

 This doesn't work out of the box because the markup is different. Plus,
 the social navigation uses other special functions to display the SVG
 icons. So it's harder to pull this off, as it is now.

 As @sami.keijonen mentions, a custom widget might be needed to do this. I
 wouldn't be for adding a custom widget for this. But maybe there's a way
 to do this more easily and with less code... I'd be open to ideas.

 Also, I'd want to hear from @melchoyce about any necessary tweaks to the
 icon styles, like sizing, to make sure they would look good in the sidebar
 area.
