Duffel Coat of Arms Hoodie Design
This hoodie showcases the official Coat of Arms of Duffel, a municipality in the province of Antwerp, Belgium. The design is a striking representation of heraldic tradition and local history.
Design Elements
The design is divided vertically (per pale) into two distinct halves. The left side features a gold background (Or) crossed by three bold, vertical red stripes (Gules). In the upper left corner, a white square (Argent) - known as a canton - is emblazoned with five black ermine spots, arranged in a saltire or "X" shape.
The right side presents a red background (Gules), upon which three silver fleurs-de-lis (Argent) are artfully arranged. Two fleurs-de-lis are placed side-by-side at the top, and one centrally positioned at the bottom.
Symbolism and Meaning
The left side of the design pays homage to the Berthout family, an influential noble lineage with historical ties to Duffel. The gold background and red stripes are from the Berthout family arms. The addition of the ermine spots within the canton signifies the specific branch of the Berthout family that held dominion over Duffel.
The right side of the design depicts the three silver fleurs-de-lis, which represent the Lords of Wezemaal, another prominent family associated with the area. This inclusion underscores the historical connections that shaped the identity of Duffel.
This design is a vivid embodiment of Duffel’s heritage, combining symbolic colors and shapes that speak volumes about its past and its enduring identity.
