Newfoundland Shield Patch

Description

Proudly display your heritage or appreciation for Newfoundland and Labrador with our Newfoundland Shield Patch. This embroidered badge features a distinctive shield design incorporating elements of the provincial flag, a powerful symbol of its unique island and Labrador geography, its rich history, 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 “NEWFOUNDLAND” in bold yellow capital letters. The main part of the shield mirrors the provincial flag, being divided into three triangles: a large blue triangle on the hoist (left) side with a white cross-like element, and a large red triangle on the fly (right) side. A golden arrow points towards the fly, bordered by white. The blue triangle symbolizes the sea and the province’s reliance on the fisheries. The white color represents the snow and ice, reflecting the province’s northern climate. The red triangle signifies the efforts and sacrifices of the people. The golden arrow points to a brighter future, symbolizing hope and optimism, and also represents the resources of the land. The overall design evokes the shape of a trident, emphasizing the province’s marine heritage, and also reflects a stylized maple leaf, linking it to Canada. This harmonious blend of colors and meaningful symbols creates a fabric emblem that vividly articulates Newfoundland and Labrador’s profound connection to its environment, its historical journey, and its aspirations for a stable and prosperous future. The current flag was officially adopted on May 28, 1980.
