Uitgeest Wapen (Coat of Arms) T-Shirt Design
This T-shirt features the striking coat of arms of the municipality of Uitgeest, a design officially granted in 1817 and registered with the HRvA (High Council of Nobility) in the Netherlands.
The Quartered Shield
The core of the design is a shield that is "gevierendeeld," or quartered. This means it's divided into four distinct sections, providing a symmetrical and balanced visual composition.
Lions in a Black Field
The design prominently showcases lions, a powerful heraldic symbol. The first (upper-left) and fourth (lower-right) quarters display a silver (argent) lion standing ("staande leeuw") against a black (sable) background. The second (upper-right) and third (lower-left) quarters feature a red (gules) lion, also standing, on the same black field. This alternating pattern creates a dynamic visual rhythm and emphasizes the lions.
Symbolism and History
The use of lions and the black field connects Uitgeest to its historical context. While the exact origins are uncertain, the design's relationship with surrounding municipalities and the "Baljuwschap van Blois" suggests a link to feudal territories and historical power structures. The lions themselves are symbols of courage, strength, and royalty, common elements in heraldry.
