CommunesBelgique-Bernissart2001 (Belgium) Coat of Arms T-Shirt
This striking t-shirt design features the official coat of arms of Bernissart, a municipality in the province of Hainaut, Belgium. The design is a bold statement of local pride, intricately representing the history and heritage of the region.
Design Elements and Representation
The design is centered around a heraldic shield, quartered into four distinct sections, each contributing to the overall visual narrative.
Quarters 1 and 4, found in the top-left and bottom-right, are a vibrant green, the heraldic color "sinople." They display three golden "croisettes recroisettées fichées," or small crosses with crossbars, pointed at the foot. These crosses are arranged diagonally, in a heraldic style known as "bend," pointing downwards towards the center of the shield. The crosses are likely to represent local families or entities from the history of Bernissart.
Quarters 2 and 3, in the top-right and bottom-left, are a radiant gold, the heraldic color "or." They feature five narrow, red diagonal stripes, known as "bendlets," equally spaced across the gold background. These stripes are a nod to the former municipalities that came together to form Bernissart, with the five stripes representing the number of original entities.
Symbolism and Meaning
The coat of arms is steeped in local symbolism. The green and gold colors, along with the crosses, reflect the region's past. The crosses themselves reference key historical figures or groups, offering a visual connection to the area's rich heritage.
The inclusion of the red bendlets against the gold background further amplifies the significance, representing the consolidation of the five constituent municipalities into the current Bernissart. The coat of arms, therefore, acts as a visual representation of the community's formation and its enduring unity.
