Earl of Mar and Kellie COA (Scotland) Hoodie
Design: A Royal Heraldic Statement
This hoodie showcases the distinguished Coat of Arms of the Earl of Mar and Kellie, a heraldic emblem rich with Scottish history and noble lineage. The design is dominated by the quartered shield, the core of the armorial achievement.
Shield Composition: A Quartered Legacy
The shield's design is divided into four quarters, each representing a facet of the Earl's combined heritage:
- Quarters 1 & 4 (Erskine): The first and fourth quarters feature the arms of the Erskine family, Earls of Kellie. These quarters display a simple yet powerful design: Argent (silver/white) with a pale sable (a vertical black stripe). This straightforward design is a testament to the family's ancient roots.
- Quarters 2 & 3 (Mar): The second and third quarters embody the Earldom of Mar, one of Scotland’s oldest earldoms. They are Azure (blue), with a bend (a diagonal stripe) between six cross-crosslets fitchée or (six small gold crosses with pointed bases). The bend signifies nobility, while the crosses represent faith and devotion.
Central Emblem: The Inescutcheon of Royal Favor
At the center, an inescutcheon (a smaller shield placed over the larger one) represents the Earl's rank. It displays Gules (red) and features the Crown of Scotland within a royal tressure or (a gold double border adorned with fleurs-de-lis), crowned with an Earl’s coronet. This inescutcheon symbolizes royal favor and the earldom itself.
Crest and Motto: Adding to the Dignity
Above the shield, the design may include a crest (often a griffin or stag) associated with the Erskine family. The motto "Je suis prest" ("I am ready") – a traditional Erskine motto – if incorporated, will appear below, further emphasizing the heraldic integrity and noble heritage of the Earl of Mar and Kellie.
Overall Impression
The overall design is a powerful display of heraldic artistry, representing centuries of Scottish noble heritage. It is a visual celebration of the Earldoms of Mar and Kellie, signifying both ancient lineage and royal favor.
