Andorra (1949-1959) Coat of Arms Crewneck Sweatshirt - Design
This crewneck sweatshirt showcases the official coat of arms of Andorra as it appeared between 1949 and 1959, a striking emblem of the principality's rich history and complex political influences.
A Heraldic Tapestry
The central element of the design is the shield, meticulously divided into four distinct quarters, each representing a key historical power and influence over Andorra's governance. This heraldic arrangement paints a vivid picture of the nation's origins and its unique co-principality status.
Quarter-by-Quarter Breakdown
The top-left quarter features a striking representation of the Bishop of Urgell, one of Andorra’s co-princes, symbolized by a mitre and crosier, the traditional regalia of a bishop, emphasizing the ecclesiastical presence in the principality’s leadership.
In the top-right, the arms of the Count of Foix, the other co-prince, are displayed with three vertical red stripes on a gold field, a clear symbol of noble lineage and the count’s historical role.
The bottom-left quarter proudly displays four vertical red stripes on a gold field, the emblem of Catalonia, signifying the strong cultural and geographical ties that bind Andorra to this region.
Completing the shield, the bottom-right quarter presents two cows (or bulls) on a gold field, a visual nod to the Viscount of Béarn, a historical territorial influence over the land.
Royal Embellishment
Crowning the shield, a mitre or crown-like element enhances the design, often symbolizing the ecclesiastical and noble status inherent to the principality’s governance. The design's overall form beautifully reflects Andorra’s unique feudal and co-principality heritage.
While not always present, some renditions may include the motto “Virtus Unita Fortior”, meaning “United virtue is stronger,” adding a layer of inspirational symbolism to the overall design.
Unisex Heavy-Blend Crewneck Sweatshirt
A clean, dependable crewneck engineered for everyday wear. The cotton/poly blend keeps prints bright and the fit approachable — neither too boxy nor too snug. It's the sort of sweatshirt you reach for when comfort matters.
Product Highlights
Built from a balanced cotton and polyester mix, this crewneck gives you the soft hand of cotton with the color-keeping and shape retention polyester offers. That fabric combo helps printed artwork look crisp and vibrant, wash after wash.
Practical construction details — a ribbed knit collar that holds its shape and the absence of side seams — remove common annoyances so the sweatshirt feels smooth and lasting during everyday use.
- Cotton/poly blend for softness, durability, and color retention
- Ribbed knit collar to prevent stretching and keep a neat neckline
- No side seams for a cleaner feel against the skin
- Midweight construction — warm without bulk

Fit & Style Notes
The cut is unisex and intended to be versatile — choose your normal size for a classic fit or size up if you prefer a relaxed, contemporary silhouette. The length and sleeve proportions are tuned for easy layering.
Style it with high-waist jeans for a clean look, throw on a lightweight coat for chilly commutes, or match with joggers for a comfortable set. Works well with bold prints or minimalist branding.
