Koog aan de Zaan Coat of Arms T-Shirt Design
This t-shirt showcases the historic coat of arms, or "wapen," of Koog aan de Zaan, a former municipality in the Netherlands. The design is a bold heraldic statement, steeped in history and local pride.
Divided Field
The artwork is structured by a horizontal division, creating two distinct halves. This 'midden door gesneden' design is a classic heraldic approach, adding visual balance and structural integrity to the emblem.
Upper Half: Red and Silver Lions
The upper portion of the design presents a striking image: a vibrant red (keel) field is adorned with two silver (argent) lions. These lions are depicted facing each other in a configuration called "geaffronteerde leeuwen," creating a sense of symmetry and nobility. The red background provides a strong contrast, making the silver lions stand out prominently.
Lower Half: Silver and Red Lions
The lower half mirrors the upper design, creating a balanced and visually interesting emblem. Here, a silver (argent) field is emblazoned with two red lions, again facing each other. This creates a pleasing visual echo of the top half, creating a sense of unity, balance and symmetry.
Historical Significance
The design draws its lineage from the Banne van Westzaen, a historical local jurisdiction, and has a connection with Crommenie. The coat of arms, as it stands, is a lasting symbol of the municipality's heritage and identity.
