This t-shirt showcases the striking and historic Coat of Arms of the 8th Light Armoured Cavalry Regiment "Lusitania" of Spain, a symbol steeped in military tradition and valor.
Central Design: The Shield
The core of the design is the shield, rendered in stark black (sable). At its heart, a stark white skull and crossbones (calavera y tibias cruzadas) immediately draws the eye, a potent symbol of courage, sacrifice, and the regiment's unwavering spirit in the face of death.
Crest and Supporters
Above the shield, a majestic royal crown crowns the emblem, a direct reference to the regiment's allegiance to the Spanish monarchy. Flanking the shield are two golden flags (estandartes), each proudly displaying the inscription "MADONNA DEL OLMO." This inscription commemorates the regiment's pivotal role and extraordinary bravery in the Battle of Madonna del Olmo, a defining moment in its history.
The Motto
Beneath the shield, a banner unfurls, bearing the Latin motto "LUSITANIA TESSERA OMNI ARMATURA FORTIER." This translates to "Lusitania, the token of all armor is strength," encapsulating the unit's resilience, martial prowess, and enduring legacy.
Overall Symbolism
The design, as a whole, is a powerful visual statement. The skull and crossbones speak of sacrifice and bravery, the crown signifies loyalty, the flags commemorate a specific heroic event, and the motto reinforces the unit's inherent strength. Together, these elements create a design rich in historical meaning, representing the enduring spirit and valor of the 8th Light Armoured Cavalry Regiment "Lusitania."
