Nova Scotia Shield Patch

Description

Proudly display your heritage or appreciation for Nova Scotia with our Nova Scotia Shield Patch. This embroidered badge features the distinctive shield of the provincial coat of arms of Nova Scotia, a powerful symbol of its Scottish heritage, its maritime identity, 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 “NOVA SCOTIA” in bold yellow capital letters. The main part of the shield is a white field with a prominent blue saltire (a diagonal cross, like an ‘X’), which is the Cross of Saint Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland. Superimposed over this blue saltire, in the center, is a smaller red lion rampant (standing on one hind leg with forelegs raised) on a golden shield. The blue saltire on a white field directly references the national flag of Scotland, emphasizing Nova Scotia’s strong historical and cultural ties to Scotland, from which its name “New Scotland” derives. The red lion rampant on a golden shield is taken from the Royal Arms of Scotland, further highlighting this connection and representing the province’s strength and royal lineage. This harmonious blend of colors and meaningful symbols creates a fabric emblem that vividly articulates Nova Scotia’s profound historical narrative, its deep Scottish roots, and its aspirations for a stable and prosperous future. The coat of arms was granted in 1625 by King Charles I and officially adopted for the province in 1858, then incorporated into the provincial flag in 1929.

Our Nova Scotia Shield Patch measures 2.5″ tall x 1.5″ wide (approximately 6.3 cm x 3.8 cm), making it an ideal size for personalizing a wide range of apparel items and gear.
