Wageningen Wapenschild Hoodie Design
This hoodie showcases the official coat of arms of Wageningen, a municipality in the Netherlands, as registered with the Hoge Raad van Adel (Dutch Council of Nobility).
Heraldic Elements in Focus
The design prominently features the core elements of the Wageningen coat of arms. The shield is rendered in a vibrant red, representing strength and valor. Centered upon this field is a silver (argent) wheel, the primary visual symbol of Wageningen's identity. The uppermost spoke of the wheel is ingeniously depicted as a cross, subtly integrating a Christian symbol into the emblem.
Symbolism and Meaning
The silver wheel alludes to the town's name, which is derived from "wagen" (wagon), potentially signifying a place connected to wagons and the people involved with them. The inclusion of the cross within the wheel adds an element of faith and religious significance.
Flanking the shield are two golden lions, symbols of courage and nobility. These regal beasts stand as guardians, reinforcing the sense of municipal pride. Above the shield, a golden coronet indicates the official municipal status of Wageningen.
Historical Inspiration
The entire design echoes the heritage of Wageningen, rooted in historical emblems. The details of the design are based on a design found in an old church window from 1570, located in the town hall of Unterstammheim, which speaks to Wageningen's long-standing traditions and civic identity.
