UNAL Aplicación Bogotá (Colombia) Hoodie - Design Description
This hoodie showcases the esteemed coat of arms of the National University of Colombia (UNAL), Bogotá, a powerful emblem of knowledge, justice, and national pride.
Heraldic Details
The central element is a Polish-style escutcheon, meticulously divided into four quadrants, each representing a crucial academic discipline within the university:
- Top-left (Gules/Red): A silver balance, a classic symbol of Justice, eloquently representing the Faculty of Law.
- Top-right (Azure/Blue): An open golden book, symbolizing Knowledge and the pursuit of education, intrinsically linked to the Faculty of Humanities.
