Wapen Zinnik (Belgium) Hoodie - Design Description
This hoodie showcases the striking coat of arms of Soignies, Belgium (known as Zinnik in Dutch). The design is a powerful visual representation of the city's history and heritage, split into two distinct halves within a traditional shield shape.
The Shield: A Divided Heritage
The shield itself is "parted" vertically, creating two visually contrasting sections. This division immediately symbolizes a combination of influences and historical narratives that have shaped Soignies.
Left Half: The City's Foundation
The left side of the shield features a vibrant green field, a color that resonates with the city's heritage and tradition. Dominating this section is a bold, silver/white cross. The cross often symbolizes faith, values, and the city's historical roots.
Right Half: Noble Heritage
The right half of the shield presents a radiant gold/yellow background. Upon this rich field, three black chevrons stand out. These chevrons are associated with historical arms connected to the region, and represent old local nobility or affiliations like the arms of Sainte-Waudru or the County of Hainaut. They speak to the noble lineage and historical connections of Soignies.
The Crown: A Royal Touch
Crowning the shield is a regal golden crown, embellished with five florets. The crown symbolizes the city's historical significance, prestige and civic pride. The presence of the crown elevates the design, lending it an air of importance and authority.
Unisex Heavy-Blend Hoodie
A soft, cozy hooded sweatshirt built for comfort-first living. This heavy-blend hoodie pairs plush insulation with a clean, unfussy silhouette — roomy enough to curl up in, tidy enough to wear out.
Product Highlights
Made from a thick cotton/polyester blend, this hoodie feels plush the moment you put it on. The fabric traps warmth without feeling bulky, and the soft brushed interior keeps it gentle against the skin — perfect for chilly mornings, late-night walks, or working from the couch.
Practical details matter: the spacious kangaroo pocket gives your hands a place to warm up and keeps small essentials close, while a matching drawstring adds a refined touch that won't clash with print or embroidery. Built with reinforced seams and a balanced weight, it wears like your favorite sweatshirt from week one.
