This T-shirt showcases the historical "Coat of arms of the United Kingdom, 1901-1952, abridged arms, variant 2," a striking visual representation of British royalty and the union of its constituent nations.
Design Elements and Symbolism
The central element is the shield, quartered to display the heraldic symbols of the United Kingdom’s nations:
- The first and fourth quarters feature the three gold lions passant guardant on a red field, representing England.
- The second quarter displays a red rampant lion within a double tressure flory-counter-flory, symbolizing Scotland.
- The third quarter presents a gold harp on a blue field, representing Ireland.
Surrounding the shield is the Garter, a blue band bearing the motto “Honi soit qui mal y pense” ("Shame on him who thinks evil of it"). The shield is surmounted by a Tudor Crown, a key emblem of royal authority during the era.
The shield is supported by a crowned golden lion (England) on the dexter side and a unicorn (Scotland) with a coronet and chain on the sinister side. This placement symbolizes the strength and unity of the kingdom under the Crown.
Beneath the shield, a "compartment" showcases the national floral emblems of the Tudor Rose (England), thistle (Scotland), and shamrock (Ireland), further solidifying the union's symbolic presence.
A scroll below bears the Royal motto, "Dieu et mon droit," signifying "God and my right," a declaration of royal authority.
