St Peter's College Oxford Coat of Arms Hoodie: Design Description
This hoodie showcases the distinguished Coat of Arms of St Peter's College, Oxford, a proud emblem of the esteemed institution. The design prominently features the heraldic shield, a visual representation steeped in history and symbolism.
The Shield
The shield is divided vertically, a technique known as "per pale," creating two distinct halves. The left side (heraldic dexter) is colored green (vert), while the right side (sinister) is silver/white (argent).
Dexter (Green) Side
On the green field, we find a pair of crossed gold (or) keys, a traditional symbol of Saint Peter, the patron saint, representing the "keys of heaven." Overlaid upon the keys is a triple-towered castle, rendered in white (argent) with black masonry (sable), symbolizing the church of St Peter-le-Bailey, now the college chapel.
Sinister (White) Side
The white/silver (argent) side bears a bold red cross (cross gules), a classic Christian motif. Above the cross, a golden (or) bishop's mitre is displayed, accompanied by four black martlets, elements taken from the heraldry of the college's founder, Bishop Francis James Chavasse.
Bordure
The entire shield is enclosed by a golden (or) border, known as a "bordure," a common heraldic device used to distinguish the arms.
A Symbol of Heritage
This design is a powerful statement of identity and academic heritage, directly referencing the official Coat of Arms of St Peter's College, Oxford. The visual elements tell a story of faith, learning, and the enduring legacy of this prestigious institution.
