Nugent Arms (Ireland) Hoodie - Design Overview
This hoodie features a striking representation of the Nugent family coat of arms, a powerful visual statement of heritage and Irish ancestry. The design draws from the rich heraldic tradition associated with the Nugent name in Ireland, specifically focusing on the most commonly recognized and historically significant armorial bearings.
Westmeath Line - Key Elements
The primary design presented here is based on the arms associated with the Earl of Westmeath. Dominating the design is the shield, the heart of the heraldic achievement. This features a field of ermine, a classic heraldic fur represented by a white field speckled with black spots. Superimposed on this are two bold, horizontal bars gules – two bands of red that immediately catch the eye and provide a strong contrast against the ermine field.
Above the shield, the crest sits atop a stylized helmet. This crest depicts a cockatrice, a mythical creature combining the features of a rooster and a serpent. The cockatrice is displayed with its wings elevated, ready for flight. Its comb and wattles, identifying features, are rendered in gules (red), adding a touch of vibrancy to the design. The tail of the cockatrice is “nowed” or tied in a knot, a distinguishing element found in this particular design.
The overall aesthetic is a testament to the family's prominence and enduring legacy in Ireland.
Alternative Design Details
An alternative design, also included on some items, features a different shield configuration. It presents a field of argent (silver or white). Across this is a fess, a horizontal red band. Above and below this fess are three crosses-crosslet fitchee, small red crosses with pointed bases. This is meant to offer options for showing the Nugent heritage.
The Motto
Both design options incorporate the Nugent family motto, "Decrevi," meaning "I have resolved." This motto, placed prominently within the design, further enhances the coat of arms' symbolic meaning, conveying a sense of purpose and determination.
