HSchBrig 55 (Germany) (Coat of Arms) Hoodie - Design Overview
This hoodie showcases the distinctive coat of arms of the Heimatschutzbrigade 55 (HSchBrig 55), a territorial brigade of the German Bundeswehr. The design is a powerful visual representation of the brigade's history and its connection to the region it defended.
Shield Design
The primary focus of the design is the shield, the central element of the Verbandsabzeichen. The shield's border is rendered in a vibrant green, a color that immediately identifies the brigade's affiliation with the Jäger (light infantry) branch of the German Army, known for their rapid deployment and defensive capabilities.
Color Divisions & Symbolism
The shield is divided diagonally, creating two distinct halves. The upper left and lower right sections are black, while the upper right and lower left sections are gold. This color division directly mirrors the flag of Baden-Württemberg, the state where the brigade was stationed. This immediately connects the unit to its area of responsibility and highlights its role in protecting the region.
Central Motif: The Hohenstaufen Lions
At the very heart of the design lies a golden escutcheon, a smaller shield placed centrally. Within this escutcheon, three majestic black lions passant guardant (walking with their heads turned to face the viewer) are displayed, each with a striking red tongue. These lions are derived from the historical arms of the House of Hohenstaufen, a prominent ruling family during the Middle Ages in this region. This element evokes a sense of heritage, strength, and the historical roots of the area the brigade was tasked to defend.
Unisex Heavy-Blend Hoodie

Product Highlights
Made from a thick cotton/polyester blend, this hoodie feels plush the moment you put it on. The fabric traps warmth without feeling bulky, and the soft brushed interior keeps it gentle against the skin — perfect for chilly mornings, late-night walks, or working from the couch.
Practical details matter: the spacious kangaroo pocket gives your hands a place to warm up and keeps small essentials close, while a matching drawstring adds a refined touch that won't clash with print or embroidery.
