Arms of the University of Hertfordshire (Coat of Arms) T-Shirt - Design Overview
This t-shirt showcases the full and vibrant heraldic achievement of the University of Hertfordshire, a design rich in symbolism and history. The central element is the shield, the heart of the design, dominated by a distinctive “H” shape, formed by a silver fess and flaunches against a deep purple background.
Above the “H,” a constellation of six gold stars represents Perseus, reflecting the university's ties to astronomy and computer science. Below, a golden oak tree, cut off at the base and bearing fruit, symbolizes the local area of Hatfield and its heritage.
Crowning the shield is the crest, featuring a black phoenix engulfed in flames, its beak a shining gold. The phoenix wears a green laurel wreath atop an astral crown, symbolizing rebirth and renewal, and representing the University's growth. The mantling, flowing from the crest, is rendered in purple and black, lined with silver.
Supporting the shield are two majestic red harts (male deer) with golden antlers and hooves. Each hart wears a ribbon split horizontally, colored purple above and black below. A small, embattled gold ring, pierced by a quill on each side, hangs from the ribbon. The harts stand upon a base representing water, and resting their hind hooves on covered golden cups representing a key benefactor.
The entire design represents Hertfordshire county and alludes to the University's heritage and academic strengths, making it a compelling visual statement.
