University of Law Arms Shield T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt features the striking coat of arms of the University of Law (formerly The College of Law), a design rich in legal and academic symbolism. The central focus is the shield, meticulously rendered in the traditional heraldic style.
The Shield: A Symbol of Law and Learning
The shield's foundation is Ermine, a classic heraldic fur pattern, traditionally representing dignity and purity. Across it lies a bold Cross Gules (red), a symbol frequently used in institutions with legal and/or Christian heritage.
At the cross's center is a crucial emblem: a Sword sheathed, point upwards. This depicts the rule of law, with the sheathed sword conveying that the power of law is restrained and upheld. Above the sword, a shining Open Book, clasped with gold (Or), rests. This signifies scholarship, learning, and the study of legal principles.
A Chief Gules (red band) forms the shield's top. Within this chief are key elements: a Pale Ermine central band, flanked by a pair of balancing Scales, representing justice and fairness. On the right, is a Portcullis chained, suggesting legal governance and the strength of the law, forming a barrier to the unrighteous. Centered in the top, on the pale, is a regal Saxon Crown Or (gold), a symbol often found in British heraldry, evoking a sense of history, tradition and early English legal heritage.
The Crest: Wisdom and Virtue
While the t-shirt design focuses on the shield, the complete coat of arms includes a Crest. Above the shield, the crest shows an Owl, a traditional symbol of wisdom and watchfulness. It is holding flowers, symbolizing subtle virtues such as fidelity and reputation.
This design embodies the core values and mission of the University of Law, celebrating its heritage of legal education and its dedication to the pursuit of justice and knowledge.
