Arms of Robert Maxwell, Earl of Nithsdale (Scotland) Hoodie - Design Description
This hoodie showcases the proud heraldry of Robert Maxwell, Earl of Nithsdale, a prominent figure in Scottish history. The design is a faithful representation of the Maxwell family's coat of arms, a symbol of their noble lineage and enduring legacy.
Shield and Charges
The central element of the design is the shield, or escutcheon. The background, rendered in argent (silver/white), provides a classic, clean foundation. At the heart of the shield is the bold saltire, a red (gules) X-shaped cross. This is the defining heraldic emblem of the Maxwell family, a visual statement of identity and heritage.
Crest and Supporters
Above the shield, the crest is displayed. The artwork often features the dramatic imagery of a "winged demi-savage proper, holding a sword." This represents strength, loyalty, and a touch of wildness, reflecting the character and martial prowess associated with the Earls of Nithsdale. While specific supporters (figures flanking the shield) are not consistently documented for this Earl, the design evokes the style of Scottish peerage arms, hinting at the grandeur of the family's status.
Motto
Completing the design is the Maxwell family motto, "Reviresco," boldly displayed. This Latin phrase, meaning "I grow strong again" or "I flourish anew," adds a layer of depth and significance. It speaks to resilience, rebirth, and the enduring spirit of the Maxwell family.
The overall design is a powerful display of heraldic tradition, meticulously crafted to honor the history and legacy of Robert Maxwell, Earl of Nithsdale.
