Wapenschild Olen (Coat of Arms) Hoodie - Design Description
Embrace the history and heraldry of Olen, Belgium with this striking hoodie design featuring the official Coat of Arms (Wapenschild). This design is a visual testament to the municipality's rich past, beautifully rendered for all to admire.
Design Elements
The design prominently displays the quartered shield, the core of the Olen coat of arms. It's a classic heraldic composition, dividing the space into four distinct sections, each contributing to the overall symbolism.
Detailed Visuals
Two quarters (top-left and bottom-right) are a deep azure blue, a color often associated with loyalty and truth. Within each of these blue quarters, a radiant gold star shines. These stars, common symbols in heraldry, could represent guidance, excellence, or signify an important aspect of Olen's identity.
The remaining two quarters (top-right and bottom-left) showcase a different visual element. They also feature the azure blue background, but with a series of diagonal silver stripes, or "bendy argent." This adds a layer of complexity and suggests a connection to historical families, alliances, or territorial divisions within the town.
Symbolism and Meaning
The quartered design itself is significant. It hints at the unification of different areas within Olen, reflecting the historical composition of the municipality from its villages and sections. The contrasting elements – the stars and the striped patterns – offer a compelling visual narrative that celebrates the historical roots of Olen.
