Tredje ytstridsflottiljen Vapen Hoodie - Design Overview
This hoodie prominently displays the distinguished coat of arms of the 3rd Naval Warfare Flotilla (Tredje sjöstridsflottiljen) of the Swedish Navy, a symbol steeped in naval history and operational significance. The design is a faithful representation of the official heraldic emblem, offering a powerful visual statement.
Shield Elements
The central design is a shield divided into two distinct fields, each laden with symbolic elements. The background is a bold red (Gules), setting a strong foundation for the heraldry.
A striking silver lightning bolt (a flash pointing down bendysinister argent) cuts across the shield diagonally, originating from the upper left and descending towards the lower right. This element symbolizes swiftness, power, and decisive action – essential qualities of a naval unit.
In the upper field, a golden crossbow (an erect crossbow or) is depicted. The crossbow represents historical maritime weaponry and potentially signifies the flotilla’s origins and its role in surface attack operations.
The lower field features two vertical open triangles joined at their points (two triangles conjoined in pale, all or), rendered in gold. These triangles may represent navigation, cooperation, or perhaps elements of defense and strategic maneuvering.
Royal Crown
The entire shield design is traditionally topped with a royal crown. This addition signifies the unit's official status within the Swedish Armed Forces and its allegiance to the crown.
Meaning & Symbolism
The overall design is rich in symbolism. It speaks to the flotilla's mission of naval defense, its history, its operational specialization in surface warfare, missile operations, and mine clearance, and its place within the Swedish Navy. The elements together embody qualities like speed, precision, strength, and strategic coordination, all reflecting the essence of a modern naval force.
