Escudo de Guayaquil Simple (Ecuador) Hoodie - Design Description
This hoodie prominently displays the simplified version of El Escudo de Guayaquil, the official coat of arms of the city of Guayaquil, Ecuador, adopted in 1920. The design, perfect for showcasing civic pride, features the iconic elements of this historical symbol.
Visual Elements and Representation
The central element of the design is the shield itself, rendered in a striking visual form. A blue field, known heráldicamente as "campo de azur," forms the backdrop. At the heart of the design is a five-pointed silver star, "una estrella de plata," symbolizing the freedom and independence of Guayaquil.
Encircling the star is a circular wreath of olive branches, "una corona de olivo." This elegant element represents the peace and prosperity that followed Guayaquil's hard-won independence. The wreath is tied together at the base by a vibrant red ribbon, "una cinta de gules," which represents the bravery and sacrifices made by the people of Guayaquil during their fight for liberty.
Below the ribbon, the proud motto "Por Guayaquil Independiente" (For Independent Guayaquil) is emblazoned. This phrase commemorates the city's declaration of independence on October 9, 1820, a pivotal moment in Guayaquil's history. The overall effect is a bold and instantly recognizable symbol of Guayaquil's heritage and identity.
