Vasa-Bernadotte Vapen Hoodie Design
This hoodie showcases the dynastic coat of arms, or vapen, representing the historical union of the House of Vasa and the House of Bernadotte within the Swedish royal lineage. The design is a powerful emblem of Swedish heritage and royalty.
The Dynastic Inescutcheon
At the heart of the design lies the "inescutcheon," a small shield centrally placed. It's bisected vertically, displaying the arms of both royal houses.
Vasa Side (Left/Dexter)
The left side of the inescutcheon, representing the House of Vasa, features a bold pattern of three diagonal bands: blue, silver (white), and red. Overlaying this patterned field is a golden sheaf, or bundle of wheat, a symbol representing abundance and prosperity.
Bernadotte Side (Right/Sinister)
The right side, dedicated to the House of Bernadotte, presents a blue background. Rising from a wavy base, evoking water, is a bridge with three arches and two crenellated towers, all in silver. Above the bridge is a golden eagle, wings inverted, perched upon thunderbolts, symbolizing power and vigilance. In the upper portion, the design prominently features the constellation of the Big Dipper, or Charles's Wain, in gold.
Overall Meaning and Symbolism
The design, as a whole, is a visual narrative of the merging of the two royal houses and the continuity of the Swedish monarchy. The Vasa side represents the family's historic prominence, while the Bernadotte side commemorates the current reigning dynasty, with each element reflecting their respective histories and symbolic values.
