Étendard 82e Régiment d'Artillerie (France) Hoodie - Design
This hoodie design proudly showcases the visual essence of the Étendard du 82e Régiment d'Artillerie, a prestigious ceremonial standard of a historic French artillery unit. The artwork meticulously recreates key elements of the flag, symbolizing the regiment's honor, traditions, and distinguished military history.
Obverse Design
The central element of the design is the iconic French tricolor: a vertical field of blue (hoist), white (center), and red (fly). Embroidered in elegant gold lettering across the top, we find "RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE," a declaration of the regiment's allegiance. Below, the inscription "82e RÉGIMENT D’ARTILLERIE" boldly identifies the specific unit.
The design captures the detail of the gold fringe that surrounds the original flag, adding a touch of regal elegance.
Reverse Design (Battle Honors)
Mirroring the obverse, the reverse side of the flag (often displayed on clothing) continues the theme. This side features the same French tricolor. Embroidered in gold are the symbolic battle honors of the regiment. These inscriptions would be framed by gold laurel branches, a classic symbol of victory and valor.
These carefully selected inscriptions represent the unit's participation in significant battles and campaigns, preserving the memory of sacrifices and victories throughout history.
Symbolism
The overall design is rich with symbolism. The French tricolor itself embodies the values of liberty, equality, and fraternity. The gold lettering and embellishments speak of the regiment's prestige and the solemnity of its role. The battle honors serve as a powerful testament to the bravery and dedication of the soldiers who served under the flag, immortalizing their contributions to France's military history.
