Unofficial Coat of Arms of Bosnia and Herzegovina Hoodie - Design Description
This hoodie showcases the unofficial coat of arms of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, a symbol used from 1992 to 1998. The design pays homage to a crucial period in the nation's history, reflecting the artistic expression of the era.
Visual Elements
The central element is a shield-shaped escutcheon, its field a vibrant azure blue. A prominent white diagonal band, or bend, elegantly cuts across the shield from top-left to bottom-right, dividing the field.
Arranged above and below the band are golden-yellow fleurs-de-lis, stylized lilies, a significant emblem. Typically, six fleurs-de-lis are present: three positioned above the band and three below. Variations in arrangement, such as centering or size, may reflect the "unofficial" nature of the design, drawn from early artistic renderings and sketches.
The shield often features a border, also known as a bordure. While some versions present a golden or yellow border, others may incorporate white or different outline thicknesses, adding to the visual diversity found in historical depictions. Subtle variations in color values of the blue, gold, and white may also be observed, influenced by reproduction methods used during the period.
Symbolism and Meaning
The design, particularly the fleurs-de-lis, carries significant cultural and historical weight. While their exact origin and historical references are complex, the fleurs-de-lis represents loyalty, honor, and light. The diagonal band further divides the fields, providing the visual complexity, giving the design a unique aesthetic value.
