Wijnegem Coat of Arms Hoodie: Design & Symbolism
This hoodie features the distinguished coat of arms of Wijnegem, a municipality in the province of Antwerp, Belgium. The design is a direct representation of the official emblem, steeped in history and heritage.
The Shield & Its Elements
The core of the design is a shield, rendered in a bold black (Sable) background. Dominating the center is a striking gold (Or) engrailed saltire, a stylized 'X' shape with a textured, saw-toothed edge. This engrailed saltire is directly derived from the arms of the influential Roelants family, who held significant historical sway over the region.
Cantonments: Grapevines of Heritage
Positioned in the four corners (cantonments) of the shield are four meticulously detailed gold (Or) grapevines, complete with leaves and stems. This addition to the original Roelants family arms reflects Wijnegem's historical connection to viticulture and the region's agricultural past.
Symbolic Significance
The coat of arms, as depicted on this hoodie, carries profound meaning. The black shield provides a dignified backdrop for the gold elements, emphasizing their prominence. The engrailed saltire speaks to the enduring legacy of the Roelants family. The grapevines are a visual testament to the area's rich agricultural tradition, representing the prosperity and heritage of Wijnegem.
