Wapen van Vlaams-Brabant (Belgium) Hoodie - Design Description
This hoodie features the official Coat of Arms of the Belgian province of Flemish Brabant. The design is a powerful display of heraldic symbols, rich in historical significance and regional pride.
The Central Shield
At the heart of the design is the shield. The primary field is black, upon which a golden lion, the "Leo Belgicus," is prominently displayed. This lion, with its red claws and tongue, is a classic symbol of the historical region of Brabant, representing strength and courage. Centered on the shield is a smaller "heart shield," which is red and features a horizontal white bar. This heart shield pays homage to Leuven, the capital city of Flemish Brabant.
Additional Embellishments
Above the shield, a Duke's hat (hertogenmuts) is depicted, further emphasizing the noble history of the Duchy of Brabant. Two golden lions with red tongues and claws flank the main shield, serving as shield-holders. They contribute to the regal and imposing aesthetic, symbolizing protection and power.
Supporting Elements
The entire composition rests on a golden wrought-ironwork. This detail adds a touch of historical and industrial significance, referencing the region's past. The artwork aims to capture the essence of Flemish Brabant's history and character, bringing a timeless symbol to life.
