Arms of Poole Grammar School T-Shirt Design
This striking t-shirt design prominently features the heraldic emblem, known as the Poole Colours, of Poole Grammar School. It’s a visual representation steeped in local history and tradition, drawing directly from the civic heraldry of Poole, Dorset.
Design Elements and Symbolism
The core of the design is the shield, showcasing a bold and distinctive arrangement of colors and symbols. The background is composed of eight alternating wavy bars of black (Sable) and gold (Or). This "Barry wavy of eight Sable and Or" visually captures the essence of the sea, paying homage to Poole's deep maritime heritage.
Central to the design is a silver (Argent) dolphin, depicted in a graceful, curved pose ("naiant embowed"). This dolphin, a powerful symbol of Poole's connection to the sea, is rendered with a red tongue (langued Gules). Above the wavy bars, in the "Chief" of the shield, are three gold (Or) scallop shells ("Escallops of the first"). These shells are associated with St. James, the patron saint of pilgrims who often embarked from Poole Harbour on their journeys.
Overall Impression
The overall design is one of elegance and historical significance. The carefully chosen colours and symbols work together to evoke a sense of place, history, and the values upheld by Poole Grammar School. The imagery speaks of the sea, the town's roots, and the school's commitment to perseverance.
