Tubbergen Wapen 1971 Hoodie: Design Details
This hoodie showcases the official coat of arms of Tubbergen, a municipality in the Netherlands, as established in 1971. The design is a powerful display of heraldry, offering a rich visual narrative.
The Shield: A Divided Field
The central element of the design is the shield, divided vertically into two distinct halves. This division, known as "per pale" in heraldic terms, creates a balanced composition, visually separating the key symbolic elements.
Dexter Side: Azure and the Cross of Tubbergen
The dexter (right-hand) side of the shield, viewed from the wearer's perspective, features a vibrant blue background ("azure"). Dominating this field is a gold cross. Superimposed upon the golden cross is a shortened and narrowed cross of the same blue, giving it a unique layered effect. In each of the four quadrants created by the gold cross, a golden lion is placed. These lions, a symbol of strength and courage, add dynamism to the design.
Sinister Side: Black Mountains
The sinister (left-hand) side of the shield presents a stark contrast with its black ("sable") background. Three golden mountains are depicted, representing the geographical features and landscape of Tubbergen. This side presents a sense of groundedness and stability.
The Crest: A Royal Touch
Crowning the shield is a golden crown adorned with three leaves and two pearls. This crest, introduced in 1971, replaces the earlier ribbon and text, symbolizing the municipality's status and history. It adds a touch of elegance and regal authority to the overall composition.
Symbolism and Meaning
The coat of arms of Tubbergen is laden with symbolism. The gold cross, likely, has a historical and possibly religious significance, alluding to the local history. The lions represent strength and the golden mountains represents the local geography. The gold, across the design, contributes to the feeling of importance. The blue and black backgrounds, paired with the elements, highlight their importance, creating a unique visual experience.
