Baron Pelham COA (England) Hoodie - Design Description
This hoodie features the historically significant and instantly recognizable coat of arms of the Pelham family, a prominent noble house in England, known for their titles as Earls of Chichester, Dukes of Newcastle, and Earls of Clare.
The Arms: Azure, Three Pelicans Vulning Themselves in Their Piety Or
The primary design element is the shield, displaying the Pelham arms. The shield is a vibrant blue (azure) background, symbolizing loyalty, truth, and steadfastness. Upon this field are three gold (or) pelicans, arranged in a 2-1 pattern, a traditional layout in English heraldry. These pelicans are depicted “vulning themselves in their piety,” meaning they are shown pecking their own breasts to feed their young with their blood.
Symbolism and Meaning
The pelican "in her piety" is a powerful symbol of Christian self-sacrifice, charity, and devotion. In medieval symbolism, the pelican's act of self-wounding to feed its young was a direct comparison to Christ’s sacrifice. The use of gold (or) for the pelicans further reinforces the themes of generosity and nobility.
Crest and Motto Elements
The design may incorporate the crest of the Pelham family, which appears above the shield in heraldic tradition. This crest features a buckle and key intertwined, representing the honor bestowed upon John de Pelham for his role in capturing King John II of France at the Battle of Poitiers.
The motto, "Vincit qui patitur," meaning "He conquers who endures," further enhances the coat of arms' message of perseverance and dedication.
