University College Durham Motto & Coat of Arms Hoodie Design
This hoodie design showcases the rich heritage and symbolism of University College, Durham, one of England's oldest collegiate institutions.
Front Design: The Coat of Arms
The centerpiece of the design is the full coat of arms of University College, Durham. Set against a backdrop of silver (or white), representing purity and learning, is a prominent red Cross of St Cuthbert. This cross is a direct link to the patron saint of Durham and the iconic cathedral that forms the college's historic foundation.
Overlapping the cross is a majestic blue lion rampant, taken from the arms of the Prince Bishops of Durham. The lion symbolizes guardianship, strength, and the college's close ties to the Bishopric and its historical role.
Back Design: The Motto
The back of the hoodie prominently features the college's Latin motto: "Non nobis solum," meaning "Not for ourselves alone." The elegant lettering emphasizes the college's ethos of service, scholarship, and commitment to contributing to the wider community.
The overall design represents the college's deep roots in the Cathedral precincts, its loyalty to Durham Cathedral, and the historical unity of faith, learning, and service.
