University of Reading Coat of Arms T-Shirt Design

This t-shirt showcases the historic coat of arms of the University of Reading, a symbol rich in heritage and meaning.

Design Elements

The design is divided horizontally, featuring a red top and a black bottom. The upper portion, in red ("gules"), bears three gold ("or") scallop shells arranged horizontally. The lower portion, in black ("sable"), presents a white ("argent") cross with scalloped ("engrailed") edges, upon which rests a red ("gules") rose with green barbs and a yellow center ("seeded"), rendered in its natural colours ("proper").

Symbolism and Meaning

The design's elements are steeped in local history and institutional connections. The three scallop shells are taken from the arms of Reading Abbey, a testament to the area's rich monastic past. The cross with scalloped edges represents the University's early affiliation with Christ Church, Oxford. The red rose symbolizes the Royal County of Berkshire, where the University is located, specifically referencing the “Lancaster Rose”.

The coat of arms, granted in 1896, elegantly blends historical significance with regional pride, offering a visual narrative of the University's origins and its enduring identity.
