Blason Province CA Ontario (Canada) Hoodie - Design Overview
This hoodie features the majestic Coat of Arms of Ontario, a symbol rich in history and meaning, proudly displayed for all to see.
The Shield and Its Symbolic Elements
At the heart of the design lies the shield, a canvas that speaks volumes. The background is a vibrant Vert (green), symbolizing the lush landscapes and natural beauty of Ontario. Emblazoned upon it is a sprig of three Or (gold) maple leaves, instantly connecting the design to Canada and reflecting Ontario's national identity. At the top, a chief Argent (silver) houses a bold Gules (red) cross, the Cross of St. George, a direct nod to Ontario's British heritage and historical ties to England.
Crest and Supporters: Wildlife and Legacy
Above the shield, the Crest presents a Sable (black) bear passant, a stately representation of a creature native to Ontario's wilderness. The bear is depicted walking, further emphasizing its place within the province's fauna. Flanking the shield are the Supporters. On the right, a proud moose stands, and on the left, a graceful deer, both depicted in their natural colors – proper. These figures underscore the natural richness and the enduring presence of native wildlife in Ontario.
Motto: A Testament to Loyalty
While not visually present on the design, the motto "Ut incepit fidelis sic permanet" – "Loyal she began, loyal she remains" – acts as the design's cornerstone, encapsulating the province's strong historical ties to the British Crown and the enduring spirit of its people.
