Weesperkarspel Wapenschild 1949 Hoodie Design
Emblazoned across this hoodie is the distinguished coat of arms of Weesperkarspel, a municipal emblem of historical significance in the Netherlands. The design proudly displays the quartered shield, the central element of the heraldic achievement.
The Quartered Shield
The shield is divided into four distinct sections, each contributing to the visual narrative of the design. The top-left and bottom-right quarters are a deep blue, punctuated by a vertical silver (argent) stripe, known as a pale. In stark contrast, the top-right and bottom-left quarters are silver, featuring a striking black (sable) heron. This mirroring of the design highlights the importance of the merger between Weesperkarspel and Bijlmermeer, which the heron symbolizes.
Symbolism and Meaning
The coat of arms is rich in symbolism. The silver and blue fields provide a foundation for the design, while the silver pales add a distinct pattern to each quarter. The presence of the heron is a visual representation of the merger between Weesperkarspel and Bijlmermeer, linking the historical events to the symbolic design. Surmounting the shield is a golden crown, representing the civic status of the municipality, signifying its official standing.
This striking design is a historical testament, embodying the identity of Weesperkarspel from 1949 until its dissolution in 1966. It serves as a visual reminder of a specific time and the merging of two municipalities.
