University of Hull Coat of Arms Hoodie: Design Overview
This hoodie prominently displays the distinguished Coat of Arms of the University of Hull. The central design features a vibrant blue shield, serving as the backdrop for a collection of symbolic elements that embody the university's heritage and values.
Key Design Elements and Symbolism
- Central Design: At the heart of the design is a gold (Or) torch, ignited with a fiery flame. The torch passes through a ducal coronet, connecting the university to the City of Hull's own coat of arms. The torch, a classic symbol of enlightenment, knowledge, and learning, is central to the University's identity.
- Flanking Symbols: The torch is flanked by two significant heraldic symbols. On the right (dexter) side, a white (Argent) rose with natural green barbs and yellow seeds represents Yorkshire, the county from which the University has drawn many students. Opposite, on the left (sinister), a golden fleur-de-lys signifies Lincolnshire, another important region connected to the university.
- Upper Band (Chief): At the top of the design, a wavy gold band (Chief) symbolizes the local rivers - the Hull and Humber - crucial to the region's history. Above, a blue dove, derived from the arms of Thomas Ferens, a key benefactor of the University College Hull, represents peace and philanthropy.
The hoodie design offers a visual representation of the University of Hull's rich history, its connection to the local area, and its commitment to knowledge and community, all conveyed through the language of heraldry.
