University of York Coat of Arms T-Shirt
Show your pride for the University of York with this striking design, a reproduction of the university's official Coat of Arms. The artwork is a faithful representation of the heraldic achievement, a symbol rich in history and meaning.
The Shield: A Foundation of Learning
The centerpiece of the design is the shield, a brilliant blue field (Azure) upon which rests a chevron of ermine – a classic heraldic fur pattern of white and black. This chevron is further adorned with three gold books, each positioned horizontally and featuring two clasps. The books symbolize the university's dedication to learning, scholarship, and the pursuit of knowledge.
The Crest: Access to Wisdom
Above the shield, the crest presents a powerful image of aspiration. Rising from a wreath of gold and blue, a mural crown – a symbol often associated with civic institutions – forms the base. From this crown emerge two crossed keys, one gold and one silver, their wards pointing upwards and outwards, representing access to the gateways of learning. Surmounting the keys is a white rose, the traditional emblem of Yorkshire, the county where the university is located, with green barbs and seeds, adding a touch of natural elegance.
A Heritage of Symbolism
The entire design is a tapestry of symbolism, each element carefully chosen to represent the core values and aspirations of the University of York. The chevron adds a noble touch, the keys symbolize access to knowledge, and the white rose grounds the design in the university's geographical heritage.
