Coat of Arms of Kitchener, Canada Hoodie Design
This hoodie showcases the official Coat of Arms of Kitchener, Ontario, a heraldic emblem rich with symbolism and history.
The Shield
The design prominently features the shield, divided horizontally. The top half showcases a gear wheel in gold against a white background, representing Kitchener's industrial prowess. Below, a red band displays three gold mullets, or stars, a nod to the city's German heritage. The bottom portion is a wavy blue field, symbolizing the Grand River and the city's geographical location.
The Crest
Above the shield, the crest presents a gold mural crown, a traditional symbol of civic pride. The crown is surmounted by a steam engine wheel, further emphasizing Kitchener's industrial roots and technological advancements.
The Supporters
On either side of the shield, two supporters uphold the city's values. On the right (dexter) stands a golden lion, holding a hammer to signify strength and labor. On the left (sinister), a silver griffin, clutching a sheaf of wheat, represents vigilance and the city's agricultural heritage.
The Compartment
The base features a compartment of wavy lines and stylized leaves, visually representing the Grand River and the city’s connection to the natural environment.
The Motto
The design is completed with the motto, “Industria et Integritas,” a Latin phrase meaning “Industry and Integrity,” highlighting the city's core values.
This design is a detailed representation of Kitchener's unique identity, a blend of industrial strength, historical heritage, and civic values.
