Heriot-Watt University Coat of Arms T-Shirt Design
This t-shirt showcases the distinguished coat of arms of Heriot-Watt University, a symbol of heritage and academic excellence.
Shield Details
The central element is the shield, which is vertically divided (per pale). The left side (dexter) features a design referencing James Watt. It displays six horizontal stripes (bars) alternating gold (Or) and blue (Azure), overlaid with a green oak tree (“eradicated”, meaning with its roots showing).
The right side (sinister) displays a white (Argent) field, bisected by a blue (Azure) horizontal band (fess). Three silver (Argent) cinquefoils (five-petaled flowers) are positioned on the fess.
Above the fess, an open book, symbolizing education and the university's mission, is depicted. Below the fess is half of a five-pointed star (mullet) in blue, a nod to George Heriot and Heriot’s School.
Symbolism and Heritage
The design skillfully blends the legacies of George Heriot and James Watt, the founding influences of the university. The oak tree is linked to the Watt/Watson heraldry in Scotland. The open book clearly signifies the university’s dedication to scholarship.
Colors
The design incorporates the core colors of Heriot-Watt University: gold, blue, green, and silver, reflecting the university’s identity and its tartan.
