USCG Lieutenant Commander Shoulder Board Enhanced T-Shirt Design
This design showcases the prestigious rank of a United States Coast Guard Lieutenant Commander in its enhanced, formal presentation. The artwork meticulously replicates the details found on the officer's shoulder board, a symbol of authority and dedication.
Design Elements
The centerpiece of the design is the gold Coast Guard shield, prominently displayed at the top. This emblem signifies the officer's allegiance to the USCG, representing their branch and role within the service.
Below the shield, three horizontal gold lace stripes encircle the design. These stripes, meticulously rendered at their correct widths (½-inch, ¼-inch, ½-inch) and spacing, immediately identify the rank of Lieutenant Commander (O-4). The arrangement is precise, mirroring the official specifications.
The entire design rests upon a deep navy-blue background, matching the Service Dress Blue uniform. This background color provides a contrasting field for the gold elements to shine, enhancing their visibility and impact.
The outermost border features a thick, shimmering gold braid, the hallmark of the "Enhanced" version. This detail elevates the design to a more ceremonial and distinguished presentation, reflecting the officer’s rank and the formality of the occasion for which the shoulder board is intended.
Meaning and Symbolism
This design is a direct representation of rank and service. Wearing this design represents respect for the U.S. Coast Guard, its traditions, and the dedication of its officers. The shield symbolizes the authority granted to the officer, while the stripes signify the rank achieved through experience and service. The enhanced gold braid further elevates the imagery, underscoring the solemnity and honor of the officer’s position.
