Coat of Arms of Sidmouth Town Council (England) Hoodie - Design Overview
This hoodie showcases the distinguished Coat of Arms of Sidmouth Town Council, a heraldic emblem rich with historical and symbolic meaning. The design is centered around the official grant of 24 October 1949, reflecting Sidmouth's maritime heritage and stunning natural beauty.
The Shield
The core of the design is the shield, the focal point of the coat of arms. Dominating the lower portion is a vibrant Gules (red) field, representing the dramatic red cliffs that define Sidmouth's coastline. Across this field, at the base, we find water in base barry wavy proper, depicted with alternating bands of blue and white, and representing the sea that has shaped the town's destiny. Upon this water sails an ancient galley in full sail, oars in action, Or (gold). This majestic vessel symbolizes Sidmouth’s historic connection to the sea, its past as a busy port, and its active engagement with maritime activities.
At the top, a chief Argent (silver) forms the upper section of the shield, representing the sky. Within this chief is a striking cross couped of the first (red), symbolizing Christianity and the town’s historical roots. Flanking the cross are two fleur-de-lis Azure (blue), these elegant symbols representing loyalty and purity, perhaps hinting at connections with the French Huguenot community.
The Crest
Above the shield, the crest completes the design. It features a striking demi-lion Gules (half lion in red), a symbol of strength and pride. The lion holds between its paws a sun in splendour Or (golden sun with rays), symbolizing the town's vibrant community and its relationship with the sea, emerging dramatically from water barry wavy proper, mirroring the base of the shield.
The overall design is a powerful visual representation of Sidmouth’s history, community, and its intimate connection to the sea.
