Västernorrlands regemente Vapen (Coat of Arms) Hoodie - Design Description
This hoodie showcases the striking coat of arms of the Västernorrlands regemente (I 21), a powerful symbol of Swedish military heritage. The design is a bold visual representation of the regiment's historical ties to the provinces of Ångermanland and Medelpad.
Shield Details
The central element is the shield, meticulously divided in half, a technique known as "per pale." The left side, representing Ă…ngermanland, features a vibrant blue field adorned with three silver salmon swimming upwards in a vertical formation. The central salmon is uniquely depicted facing left (sinister set), adding a dynamic element. All the salmon are distinguished by their red fins (armed gules), a touch of heraldic detail.
The right side of the shield showcases the arms of Medelpad. This section presents a series of waves, expertly divided four times. The color sequence creates a visually compelling pattern: blue, white, red, white, and finally, blue again.
Additional Elements
Above the shield, the design features a significant element: two crossed gold muskets (in saltire). This arrangement provides a clear visual connection to the regiment’s military function and historical role.
Symbolism and Meaning
The overall design is deeply rooted in regional identity. The two halves of the shield pay homage to the provinces of Ă…ngermanland and Medelpad, the areas associated with the regiment. The salmon of Ă…ngermanland and the waves of Medelpad, along with the crossed muskets, combine to tell a story of regional pride, history, and military service.
