Coat of Arms of Andrew Barclay (United States) Hoodie Design
This hoodie showcases the heraldic design of the Coat of Arms belonging to Andrew Barclay, a prominent Scottish-American merchant of the 18th century.
The Shield
The central element is the shield, rendered in Argent (silver), providing a clean backdrop for the design. Dominating the shield is a chevron, a heraldic symbol often representing protection or construction. This chevron sits between three crosses pattée Gules (red). The crosses pattée, with their flared arms, are a direct reference to Barclay's faith and the Christian faith. The use of red often signifies valor and strength.
The Crest
Above the shield, and forming part of the overall design, is the crest: an erect dagger. The dagger, when used as a crest, can symbolize preparedness, strength, or defense, and in Barclay’s arms, could speak to his conviction and readiness to defend his community.
Motto
While not a visible element on the hoodie itself, the motto, "Crux Christi nostra" (Latin for "The cross is our own"), speaks volumes about Barclay's personal and spiritual beliefs. This reinforces the importance of faith and commitment to the community.
Overall Representation
The overall design represents Andrew Barclay’s Scottish heritage and his identity within the Saint Andrew's Society of New York, a group dedicated to supporting Scottish immigrants. The use of traditional heraldic symbolism, such as the chevron, crosses, and dagger, offers insights into Barclay's faith, values, and sense of community.
