University of Aberdeen Coat of Arms Hoodie
Design Overview
This hoodie proudly displays the historic Coat of Arms of the University of Aberdeen, a powerful visual representation of its heritage and academic spirit.
Shield Design: A Quartered Emblem
The centerpiece of the design is the shield, meticulously divided into four quadrants, each holding symbolic significance:
- First Quarter: A bold white saltire, the iconic diagonal cross of St. Andrew, set against a vibrant blue background, immediately establishes the university's strong connection to Scotland.
- Second Quarter: Symbolizing the heart of academia, this quarter features a book, a timeless emblem of learning, knowledge, and intellectual pursuits.
- Third Quarter: A depiction of Aberdeen's historic cityscape, often a castle or tower. This section anchors the university to its city and civic origins.
- Fourth Quarter: This quadrant might incorporate additional emblems that link the university's specific history.
Supporters and Embellishments
Above the shield, the crest may feature heraldic details. A helmet and a banner, or even the regal thistle—Scotland's national flower—might be incorporated, adding to the visual grandeur and emphasizing the university's Scottish pride.
Color Palette
The design adheres to the traditional Scottish heraldic color scheme: blue (azure), white (argent), gold (or), and red (gules). These carefully chosen hues enhance the visual impact and symbolic resonance of the arms.
A Legacy of Wisdom
This design embodies the university's commitment to scholarship, its rich Scottish identity, and its enduring relationship with the city of Aberdeen. Wearing this design is a proud statement of connection to the University's long and distinguished history.
Unisex Heavy-Blend Hoodie

Built with reinforced seams and a balanced weight, it wears like your favorite sweatshirt from week one.
