USCG CW4 Vertical Shoulder Board T-Shirt Design
This t-shirt features a striking design that mirrors the formal insignia worn by a US Coast Guard Chief Warrant Officer 4 (CW4) on their dress uniform.
Artwork and Visual Elements
The central element of the design is a vertical representation of the CW4 shoulder board. It showcases a wide gold stripe, bisected by a narrow, vertical blue center stripe. This precise arrangement is the defining characteristic of the CW4 rank within the Coast Guard warrant officer ranks.
At the top of the design, near where the shoulder seam would be on the actual uniform, a US Coast Guard device is depicted. This device is likely either a shield or a fouled anchor, representing the Coast Guard and its maritime heritage.
Optional details, such as the edge piping, found on some dress uniform boards, may also be subtly included, further enhancing the authenticity and visual impact of the design.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design clearly identifies the wearer's rank as a Chief Warrant Officer 4 in the United States Coast Guard. The gold stripe, combined with the blue center stripe, serves as a visual identifier, distinguishing this rank from CW3 (single solid gold stripe) and CW5 (silver stripe with blue center). The USCG device reinforces the association with the Coast Guard and its traditions.
This design is a symbol of leadership, experience, and dedication within the Coast Guard. It honors the service and commitment of those who have attained this distinguished rank.
