Wiedikon-blazon (Switzerland) (Coat of Arms) Hoodie - Design Description
This hoodie showcases the heraldic emblem of Wiedikon, a district within Zurich, Switzerland. The design prominently features the official coat of arms, or "blazon," of Wiedikon.
Visual Elements
The core of the design is a striking representation of the imperial orb, or "Reichsapfel." This ornate orb is divided into two contrasting halves: one in a vibrant red (gules) and the other in a lustrous silver (argent). The orb is meticulously detailed with golden fittings, adding a touch of regal elegance. Crowning the orb is a prominent golden cross, completing the composition.
The background, or "field," of the design is a deep azure blue, providing a rich backdrop that enhances the visibility and impact of the other colors.
Meaning and Symbolism
The imperial orb is a potent symbol with deep historical roots. It represents dominion and sovereignty, a fitting emblem for a community. The gold fittings and cross further reinforce this theme of power and authority. The combination of red, silver, gold, and blue colors contribute to the sense of heraldic tradition and civic pride associated with Wiedikon.
The coat of arms, documented since at least 1674, embodies the history and identity of Wiedikon, offering a visual connection to its heritage.
