Arms of Oxfordshire County Council (England) (Coat of Arms) Hoodie
Design Overview
This hoodie prominently displays the historic Arms of Oxfordshire County Council, a powerful visual representation of the county's heritage and authority. The design, derived from heraldic principles, is a timeless emblem of regional identity.
The Shield
The central element of the design is the shield, a classic form in heraldry. It features a field of blue (Azure), a color that symbolizes loyalty and truth. Upon this field are three golden lions passant guardant, the primary charges of the arms. These lions are depicted walking, with their heads facing forward, representing courage, vigilance, and a connection to English royalty.
Additional Elements
While the design is primarily focused on the shield, the full Arms of Oxfordshire typically include additional heraldic elements. These elements, such as a crest, often featuring an ox head as a canting symbol for the county’s name, and supporters like lions, which represent strength and vigilance, contribute to the overall symbolism. The potential inclusion of a motto would further emphasize the values of service, loyalty, and regional pride associated with Oxfordshire.
Symbolism and Meaning
The Arms of Oxfordshire County Council are a powerful statement of civic pride and historical connection. The combination of the blue field and the golden lions communicates a message of loyalty, courage, and regional identity. This design, steeped in history, signifies the authority, governance, and enduring heritage of Oxfordshire.
