Coat of Arms of Río Negro Department - Crewneck Sweatshirt Design
This crewneck sweatshirt showcases the official coat of arms of the Río Negro Department in Uruguay, a powerful symbol of regional identity and pride. The design, adopted in 1943, is a rich tapestry of historical and economic symbolism, arranged within a traditional shield shape.
Central Imagery
At the heart of the design, the emblem is dominated by a central motto, “SOMOS INDUSTRIA Y RIQUEZA,” which translates to “We are Industry and Wealth.” This statement reflects the region's strong economic foundation.
Key Design Elements
The upper field features dynamic depictions of Gauchos in action, Uruguayan patriots on horseback armed with lances, commemorating the historical Batalla del Rincón, a significant battle for Uruguayan independence. This element pays homage to the department's role in the nation's history.
The lower section is a visual testament to Río Negro's economic strengths. The Cattle symbolize the importance of livestock and meat production. A Wheat sheaf represents agricultural abundance and the fertility of the land. Finally, an Anchor on a stylized background signifies the significance of the Uruguay River and the importance of riverine commerce and transport to the department.
Surrounding Elements
The shield is often surrounded by branches of laurel and olive, symbols of victory and peace, and is topped with a ribbon or band bearing the name “Río Negro.” These surrounding elements complete the design, adding further visual detail.
The design effectively blends historical references with economic symbolism, making this coat of arms a unique representation of the Río Negro Department.
Unisex Heavy-Blend Crewneck Sweatshirt
A clean, dependable crewneck engineered for everyday wear. The cotton/poly blend keeps prints bright and the fit approachable — neither too boxy nor too snug. It's the sort of sweatshirt you reach for when comfort matters.
Product Highlights
Built from a balanced cotton and polyester mix, this crewneck gives you the soft hand of cotton with the color-keeping and shape retention polyester offers. That fabric combo helps printed artwork look crisp and vibrant, wash after wash.

- Cotton/poly blend for softness, durability, and color retention

Fit & Style Notes
The cut is unisex and intended to be versatile — choose your normal size for a classic fit or size up if you prefer a relaxed, contemporary silhouette. The length and sleeve proportions are tuned for easy layering.
Style it with high-waist jeans for a clean look, throw on a lightweight coat for chilly commutes, or match with joggers for a comfortable set. Works well with bold prints or minimalist branding.
