Blason province ca Île-du-Prince-Édouard (Canada) (Coat of Arms) Hoodie - Design Description
This hoodie features a stunning and intricate design based on the official Coat of Arms of Prince Edward Island, Canada. The artwork showcases a rich tapestry of heraldic elements, each imbued with symbolic meaning representing the province's history, geography, and cultural heritage.
The Shield: A Visual Summary of the Island
The central element, the shield, is divided visually into two main sections. The lower portion features a vibrant green island (Vert) set against a silver (Argent) field, representing the province itself and its resources. On the island, an oak tree and saplings are meticulously placed. The mature oak, to the left, symbolizes Britain, while the three young saplings on the right represent the province's three counties: Kings, Queens, and Prince.
Above this scene, a prominent red (Gules) band, or "chief," is emblazoned with a gold (Or) lion passant guardant. The lion, a reference to the Royal Arms, also honors Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, after whom the island is named.
The Crest: Avian Majesty
The design continues with the Crest, which sits atop the shield. This element displays a blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata), the official avian emblem of the Island, standing reguardant (looking backward) on a grassy mount. The blue jay wears the Royal Crown, emphasizing the province's place within the Canadian Confederation. Its beak holds a leaf of the red oak tree (Quercus rubra L.), the official tree of Prince Edward Island.
The Supporters: Guardians of Industry
On either side of the shield, two silver foxes (Vulpes fulva) stand as supporters. The silver fox, a rare animal native to the region, and also a reference to the fur farming perfected on Prince Edward Island, embodies sagacity and wit. One fox wears a garland of potato blossoms, representing the Island's significant potato industry, and the other is adorned with a length of fishing net, symbolizing the importance of fishing.
The Compartment: A Foundation of Unity
The entire composition rests upon a "compartment," or base, a verdant mount (Vert) with a Mi'kmaq star (Azure) as its centerpiece, which symbolizes the sun. Surrounding the star are various floral emblems: roses for England, lilies for France, thistles for Scotland, and shamrocks for Ireland, alongside the lady's slipper flowers, the floral emblem of the island, creating a unified and vibrant base.
The Motto: A timeless message
The motto of the province "Parva sub ingenti", meaning “The small under the protection of the great” is a testament to the relationship between the province and the protection by the Canadian Confederation.
