York St John University Arms T-Shirt: A Heraldic Display
This t-shirt proudly showcases the official coat of arms of York St John University, a vibrant emblem steeped in history and symbolism.
The Shield: Foundations of Knowledge and Faith
At the heart of the design lies the shield, a canvas of silver (argent) upon which rests a bold green (vert) saltire, a diagonal cross. Crossing the saltire are two golden (Or) keys, positioned in a crossed (saltire) formation. These keys are a direct reference to the Archdiocese of York, acknowledging the university's deep-rooted ecclesiastical heritage.
The Chief: A Royal and Scholarly Embrace
Crowning the shield is the chief, a horizontal band divided into two sections: red (gules) on the left and blue (azure) on the right. Centered within this band is a golden (Or) bugle-horn, intricately detailed. This bugle-horn cleverly represents "St John" in the university's name. Flanking the bugle-horn are two elegant white (argent) roses, complete with their naturalistic leaves and stems, paying homage to the iconic White Rose of York, a regional emblem.
The Crest: Soaring to Enlightenment
Above the shield, the crest takes flight, presenting a majestic crown that supports two torches, each ablaze with flames. Rising from the crown are two eagles, wings displayed, clutching the torches. This crest beautifully symbolizes enlightenment and knowledge, with the eagles representing St John the Evangelist, the university's patron saint.
This t-shirt serves as a wearable emblem of York St John University, a visual testament to its history, values, and pursuit of knowledge.
