Duisburg Wappen (Germany) Hoodie - Design Overview
Embrace the history and civic pride of Duisburg with this striking hoodie design, showcasing the city's iconic Coat of Arms.
Heraldic Brilliance
The design faithfully recreates the official Duisburg Wappen (Coat of Arms) in its full heraldic glory. The shield is the centerpiece, visually divided into two vertical halves of contrasting colors.
Color and Composition
The shield's background is a captivating display. It's "per pale," meaning split vertically. One half presents a vibrant red (gules), while the other features a pristine silver/white (argent). A prominent cross, "counterchanged," dominates the shield. This intricate effect reverses the colors within the cross itself, creating a dynamic visual interplay of red and white panels.
The Majestic Lion
Overlying the cross is a majestic black lion (sable), rendered in a proud "rampant" pose. This symbol of strength and heritage is meticulously detailed, with its claws and tongue rendered in the same silver/white (argent) as one half of the shield, creating an eye-catching contrast.
Symbolism in Detail
The design is rich in meaning. The black lion pays homage to Duisburg's historic connections to the Duchy of Berg and the Counts of Cleves. The counterchanged cross symbolizes the city's significant ties to the Holy Roman Empire and its religious heritage. The colors themselves contribute to the symbolism; argent represents purity, gules signifies strength, and sable embodies determination.
Unisex Heavy-Blend Hoodie
