Västerbottens regemente vapen (Sweden) Hoodie - Design Description
This hoodie proudly displays the coat of arms of the Västerbottens regemente (I 19), a historical Swedish Army regiment deeply rooted in the traditions of Västerbotten, northern Sweden. The design is a powerful visual representation of the regiment's heritage and connection to the region.
Heraldic Elements and Symbolism
The artwork features a classic heraldic composition, expertly divided into two distinct fields. The upper field, rendered in argent (silver), showcases a majestic blue reindeer, depicted in a rampant pose, standing upright. This striking image symbolizes the rugged wilderness and the resilient Sami reindeer-herding culture of Västerbotten, representing strength and endurance.
The lower field, in azure (blue), provides a contrasting backdrop for three silver salmon, artfully arranged in a "two over one" configuration. These salmon, each with vibrant red fins, pay homage to the rivers and abundant fisheries that have historically defined the region, particularly the Ume, Skellefte, and Vindel Rivers.
Crowning the shield is the open Swedish royal crown, a clear indication of the regiment's allegiance and service within the Swedish Armed Forces, under the authority of the King.
Historical Significance
The coat of arms, a direct descendant of the provincial arms of Västerbotten, serves as a potent reminder of the regiment's origins and its historical connection to the region and its people. This emblem is a visual testament to the unit's heritage and the valor of the soldiers who have served under its banner throughout the centuries.
