Coat of Arms of Charles Eden (United States) Hoodie Design
This hoodie showcases the distinguished Coat of Arms of Charles Eden, the second Governor of North Carolina (1714–1722), a heraldic emblem rich with symbolism and historical significance.
Shield Design
The central element of the design is the shield, described heraldically as "Gules (red), featuring a chevron argent (silver) between three garbs (wheat sheaves) and as many escallops (seashells) sable (black)." The vibrant red background sets a bold tone, immediately drawing the eye. A silver chevron, shaped like an inverted "V," divides the shield. Above and below this chevron are three garbs, representing harvests and prosperity, and three black escallops, symbolizing travel, exploration, and the sea.
Crest and Heraldry
Above the shield, the crest features a dexter (right) arm in armor, bent at the elbow. The arm is shown in its natural colors and grasps a garb, symbolizing strength and the ability to protect and cultivate. This design element speaks to the history of the Eden family and their link to feudal societies.
Motto
The design incorporates the motto, "Si sit prudentia" — "If there be but prudence," a clear statement of Eden's guiding principle, reinforcing the value of wise decision-making.
Overall Impression
The design as a whole presents a striking and historically significant emblem. The combination of colors and visual elements, coupled with the motto, speaks to both the Governor's personal attributes and the values he likely held during his tenure. The coat of arms, documented in Bolton's American Armory, evokes a sense of history and heritage, providing the wearer with a connection to Charles Eden and the early history of North Carolina.
