Dulwich College Coat of Arms Hoodie: A Symbol of Heritage
This hoodie showcases the prestigious Coat of Arms of Dulwich College, a design rich in history and symbolism, reflecting the values of this esteemed English institution.
The Escutcheon: The Heart of the Design
The central element, the escutcheon or shield, features a striking design. A white (Argent) field is bisected by a red (Gules) chevron, flanked by three red cinquefoils. Above this, a chief (top portion) of ermine, a pattern of black ermine tails on white, supports a single red cinquefoil. This arrangement embodies the school's commitment to learning, and potentially the Alleyn family heritage.
The Crest: Flames of Inspiration
Above the shield sits the crest, a dramatic visual statement. It depicts flames erupting from a golden coronet, representing the pursuit of knowledge and illumination. Emerging from the flames is an arm, clad in a white (argent) sleeve with a red (gules) cuff, holding a flaming heart. This symbolic representation reflects the school's charitable foundations and Christian values, as established by Edward Alleyn.
The Motto and its Significance
The design is completed with the motto, "Detur Gloria Soli Deo," meaning "Let glory be given to God alone". This inscription underscores the College's dedication to Christian principles and the pursuit of knowledge with a sense of humility and reverence.
The overall composition serves as a powerful testament to Dulwich College's history, values, and enduring legacy.
