British Columbia Shield Patch

Description

Proudly display your heritage or appreciation for British Columbia with our British Columbia Shield Patch. This embroidered badge features the distinctive shield of the provincial coat of arms of British Columbia, a powerful symbol of its unique geography, its British heritage, and its enduring provincial pride. The shield is rectangular with a rounded bottom, enclosed by a yellow border. It features a black banner at the top, embroidered with “BRITISH COLUMBIA” in bold yellow capital letters. The top part of the shield features a horizontal Union Jack (the flag of the United Kingdom) with a golden crown centered on it, symbolizing British Columbia’s historical ties and enduring link to the British Monarchy. Below this, the main part of the shield depicts four undulating white and blue stripes representing the Pacific Ocean, with a setting golden sun rising from the waves. This vividly illustrates British Columbia’s location as Canada’s westernmost province, where the sun sets over the Pacific, and symbolizes the province’s bright future. This harmonious blend of colors and meaningful symbols creates a fabric emblem that vividly articulates British Columbia’s profound connection to its natural environment, its rich history, and its aspirations for a stable and prosperous future. The coat of arms was granted in 1906 by King Edward VII and incorporated into the provincial flag in 1960.
