Arms of Nugent, Earl of Westmeath (Coat of Arms) Hoodie - Design Description
The Shield: A Statement of Lineage
The central element of this design is the shield, or escutcheon, which proudly displays the arms of the Nugent family, Earls of Westmeath. The field, or background, is rendered in ermine: a classic heraldic fur pattern. This is represented by a field of white, dotted with small black "spots," symbolizing purity and dignity. Across this field are two bold, horizontal bars in the color Gules (red), representing military strength and magnanimity.
The Crest: A Winged Protector
Above the shield, the crest presents a striking visual. A cockatrice, a mythical creature with the head and body of a cock, and the tail of a serpent, stands poised with elevated wings. The cockatrice is rendered in a vibrant green ("Vert"), symbolizing hope and loyalty. Its comb and wattles, the fleshy protrusions on its head, are in red, echoing the colors of the shield and perhaps the family's courage. The nowed tail – a knotted serpent-like tail – adds an intriguing visual flourish.
The Supporters: A Double Guard
On either side of the shield stand two additional cockatrices, identical to the crest. These act as supporters, lending further visual drama and reinforcing the family's power and vigilance. They mirror the crest's symbolism, amplifying the sense of protection and mythical heritage.
The Motto: A Declaration of Resolve
While not a visual element, the motto "Decrevi" (Latin for "I have resolved") underscores the entire design, giving a powerful textual addition. It speaks to the family's determination and unwavering commitment.
This design is a vivid encapsulation of heraldic tradition, offering a visual legacy of honor, courage, and resolve, a testament to the family's proud history and legacy.
