Ushaw College Durham (England) Coat of Arms T-Shirt
This t-shirt proudly displays the historic coat of arms of Ushaw College, Durham, England, a striking emblem rich in symbolism and heritage. The design is split vertically, a heraldic technique known as "per pale," creating two distinct halves that tell a compelling story.
Dexter Side: A Legacy of Faith
The viewer's left side of the shield showcases a white (Argent) field, emblazoned with a bold red cross (Gules). In the upper corner, a small blue square (Canton Azure) contains the prominent Cross of St. Cuthbert, rendered in its authentic colors. This is a direct representation of the college's patron saint and is modeled on St. Cuthbert’s pectoral cross, a precious artifact kept in Durham Cathedral. The large red cross is commonly interpreted as a tribute to the English Roman Catholic Martyrs.
Sinister Side: A Family Connection
The viewer's right side “impales” (joins) the arms of the Allen family, honoring William Allen, founder of the English College, Douai, from which Ushaw's lineage flows. This side features a silver/white (Argent) background with three black rabbits (Sable) lying down in a vertical row (couched in pale). These “coneys” are a direct heraldic reference to the Allen family and are a key element of the college's visual identity.
A Symbol of History
The overall design is a powerful blend of religious symbolism and historical lineage. The bold colors and precise arrangement reflect a deep connection to faith, history, and the enduring legacy of Ushaw College.
