De Haan Coat of Arms T-Shirt
This t-shirt showcases the official coat of arms (wapen in Dutch) of De Haan, a municipality in West Flanders, Belgium. The design is a striking representation of the town's history and identity, artfully divided into three distinct sections.
Design Elements and Symbolism
The artwork is structured around a shield, reflecting the traditional form of a coat of arms. The shield itself is thoughtfully curved or indented, a detail that adds a unique touch to the overall composition.
Section 1: The Crowing Rooster
The upper-left portion of the shield features a vibrant blue background. Dominating this section is a silver or white rooster, depicted in the act of crowing. This element is a direct reference to the town's name, "De Haan," which translates to "The Rooster" in Dutch. The rooster's beak, legs, comb, beard, and tongue are rendered in a bold red, adding visual interest and emphasis.
Section 2: The Curled Cross and Ducklings
The upper-right section is set against a silver or white backdrop. Here, a prominent red (gules) "krulkruis," or curled cross, takes center stage. Accompanying the cross are four black ducklings. This combination is derived from the arms of the former municipalities of Vlissegem and Klemskerke, representing their integration into the current municipality.
Section 3: The Porpoise and Harpoons
The lower section of the shield presents a black background. A silver or white porpoise is the primary element, a tribute to the former municipality of Wenduine. The porpoise is pierced by two golden harpoons, crossed diagonally, further adding detail and visual interest. This element is a visual connection to the town's coastal heritage.
Overall Significance
The division of the shield into these three sections mirrors the merging of the three former municipalities that now form De Haan. Each component of the design is carefully chosen, reflecting the heritage and symbolic history of the municipality and the elements it represents.
