Coat of Arms of Sam Houston (United States) (Coat of Arms) Hoodie - Design Description
This hoodie showcases the distinguished Coat of Arms associated with Sam Houston, a representation of his ancestral heritage. The design is rich with heraldic symbolism, immediately recognizable to those familiar with his family lineage.
The Shield
At the heart of the design lies the shield, rendered in a striking gold (Or) field. This golden backdrop sets the stage for the primary elements: a chevron, chequered in black (Sable) and white (Argent), that commands the central space. Above and below the chevron, three black martlets, stylized swallows without legs, are depicted. Martlets traditionally symbolize swiftness and are often associated with younger sons who were not able to inherit land.
The Crest
Surmounting the shield is the crest: a sandglass (hourglass), presented in its natural colors (proper). The sandglass suggests the passage of time, a central theme echoed in the family motto.
The Supporters
Flanking the shield are the supporters: two greyhounds, rendered in their natural colors (proper), collared and chained in gold (Or). The greyhounds represent loyalty, vigilance, and swiftness, reinforcing the historical and symbolic values of the Houston family.
The Motto
The family motto, "In Time," is typically presented in a scroll beneath the shield, further emphasizing the historical and lasting nature of the lineage.
Overall Meaning and Symbolism
The entire design reflects a noble lineage and is rich in historical significance. The gold shield suggests generosity and elevation; the chevron symbolizes protection and the undertaking of great affairs; the martlets symbolize agility and are a reminder of the passage of time; the greyhounds symbolize loyalty and vigilance; and the hourglass emphasizes the passing of time, while "In Time" highlights the legacy of the family.
