Flag of Belfast (Ireland) Hoodie: Design Overview
The Flag of Belfast hoodie showcases the city's iconic municipal flag, a symbol of its rich history and identity. The design centers around the official coat of arms, the primary visual element of the flag.
Central Emblem: The Coat of Arms
The artwork prominently features the Belfast coat of arms. At its heart is the shield, divided per chevron. The upper portion displays a bell, a visual pun representing the city's name, "Belfast," derived from the Irish "Béal Feirste" (mouth of the sandbank). The lower section of the shield holds a seahorse, symbolizing Belfast's deep maritime heritage.
Symbolic Elements
Above the shield, the crest presents a ship in full sail, a powerful symbol of Belfast's renowned shipbuilding industry and maritime prowess, most notably the construction of the Titanic. This detail evokes the city's significant contribution to global maritime history.
The shield is flanked by supporters: a wolf and a sea-horse. This juxtaposition cleverly combines land and sea symbolism, reinforcing the city's connection to both elements. The full coat of arms presents a comprehensive representation of Belfast's history and enduring spirit.
The Banner of Arms
The overall design mirrors the "banner-of-arms" variant of the flag. This means the complete coat of arms is presented to symbolize the city. The hoodie design therefore, celebrates Belfast's heritage and civic pride through its visual representation on the flag.
