Opfikon-blazon (Switzerland) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt features the striking coat of arms of Opfikon, a municipality in Zürich, Switzerland. The design is a direct representation of the official blazon, rendered in a crisp and visually appealing manner.
Design Elements
The artwork is divided horizontally into two distinct fields. The upper half is a vibrant red (gules), while the lower half presents a pristine silver/white (argent) background.
Central to the design in the upper section is a half-length portrait of a man. He is depicted wearing a coat of black (sable) with a prominent white collar. His hair is also rendered in silver or a flesh tone, giving a dignified and historical feel.
The lower section of the design features a prominent black (sable) cross pattee. This cross, with its flaring arms, is a symbol of significance.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design tells a story of the region's history. The man in the upper portion references the Burkhard de Opphinkon family, a noble line that once resided in the area during the 13th century. It is a nod to the past.
The black pattee cross symbolizes a connection to the Grossmünster canonry, a religious institution to which the settlement of Oberhausen (now part of Opfikon) once paid tithes. The cross symbolizes the impact of religion in the region's past.
