Västerbottens läns vapen (Sweden) Hoodie - Design Description
Embrace the spirit of Northern Sweden with the Västerbottens läns vapen hoodie. This design proudly displays the official Coat of Arms for Västerbotten County, a symbol rich in history and meaning.
A Majestic Emblem
The centerpiece of the design is the shield, heraldically divided. The upper portion, rendered in a crisp silver (represented as white), features a striking blue reindeer in a rampant pose, standing on its hind legs. This powerful image pays homage to the region’s strong reindeer herding traditions and the enduring spirit of the Sami culture.
Rivers and Heritage
The lower field of the shield is a vibrant blue, symbolizing the clear waters and vast skies of Västerbotten. Within this blue expanse, three silver salmon, gracefully arranged in a pattern of two over one, with their fins rendered in a vibrant red. These represent the area's rich fishing heritage, and the importance of rivers such as the Ume, Skellefte, and Vindel rivers.
Royal Authority
Crowning the shield is a regal golden royal crown, a symbol of authority and governance. This addition signifies the coat of arms' use by state authorities, particularly the County Administrative Board of Västerbotten.
A Statement of Pride
This hoodie design is a bold statement of pride in the heritage, culture, and natural beauty of Västerbotten. It is a wearable emblem of strength, resilience, and the enduring connection to the Northern Swedish landscape.
