Coat of Arms of John Broughton (United States) Hoodie
Design Overview
This hoodie showcases the Coat of Arms attributed to John Broughton, an early American settler who arrived in New York in 1812. The design, documented in Matthews' American Armoury and Blue Book, is a classic heraldic representation of the Broughton family.
Shield Details
The central element is the shield, rendered in argent (silver) as the background. A prominent chevron, in a contrasting color, divides the shield's space. Above and below this chevron are three mullets (stars) of gules (red), adding points of visual interest and symbolic value.
Crest Imagery
Above the shield sits the crest, comprised of an eagle's head erased (torn off cleanly) in sable (black). The eagle’s head is depicted holding a snake, with the snake's body appearing in argent (silver). On the eagle’s chest, two silver (argent) chevrons are displayed, adding another layer of detail to the crest’s symbolism.
Symbolism and Meaning
The design utilizes traditional heraldic symbolism. The silver color in the shield represents peace and sincerity. The chevron signifies protection and service, while the red stars are emblems of achievement and nobility. The eagle is a symbol of courage and strength, while the snake held in its beak suggests victory over adversaries. The chevrons on the eagle's breast reinforce the values and characteristics represented by the chevron's presence in the shield.
