Wapen van Zandhoven (Belgium) Hoodie Design
Embrace the rich history and heritage of Zandhoven with this striking hoodie design, showcasing the official Wapen van Zandhoven, or Coat of Arms. The design is a bold visual statement, immediately recognizable for its intricate heraldic details.
Quartered Shield
The centerpiece of the design is the shield, quartered to represent the four former municipalities that merged to form present-day Zandhoven. Each quarter bursts with symbolic meaning:
- First Quarter (Pulderbos): A vibrant blue field hosts three silver lilies, a nod to the Van den Steene family, who held the lordship of Pulderbos.
- Second Quarter (Pulle): A red background is topped with a silver chief bearing three black merlettes, a design rooted in the arms of the d'Ursel family.
- Third Quarter (Massenhoven): Five red lozenges on a silver field, with one featuring a black merlette, echoes the heraldry of the Cannart d’Hamale family, lords of Massenhoven.
- Fourth Quarter (Viersel): This quarter presents a silver field crossed by a black fess adorned with a golden lily, along with a golden tower and a black cauldron, symbolizing the local heritage of Viersel.
Saint Amelberga Supporter
Adding a layer of historical and religious significance, Saint Amelberga, the patron saint of Zandhoven, acts as the shield's supporter. She is depicted standing on a green sturgeon, a unique visual element that speaks to the area's history, holding the Brabantian shield, further connecting the design to the wider region.
This design is a powerful expression of identity, embodying the spirit and history of Zandhoven within a unified, visually compelling presentation.
