Ontario Shield Patch

Description

Proudly display your heritage or appreciation for Ontario with our Ontario Shield Patch. This embroidered badge features the distinctive shield of the provincial coat of arms of Ontario, a powerful symbol of its history, its British heritage, and its enduring provincial pride. The shield is rectangular with a rounded bottom, set against a background. It features a black banner at the top, embroidered with “ONTARIO” in bold yellow capital letters. The main part of the shield is primarily a red field, echoing the red ensign design of the provincial flag. In the upper hoist (left) corner, a Union Jack (the flag of the United Kingdom) is prominently displayed, symbolizing Ontario’s historical ties and enduring link to the British Crown. The main lower portion of the red field features the official Ontario coat of arms crest: a red St. George’s Cross on a white background at the top (within the crest), symbolizing Ontario’s British heritage. Below this, three golden maple leaves are displayed on a green field. The maple leaves are a quintessential Canadian symbol, representing the rich natural heritage and the vibrant deciduous forests of Ontario. This harmonious blend of colors and meaningful symbols creates a fabric emblem that vividly articulates Ontario’s profound connection to its natural environment, its historical legacy, and its aspirations for a stable and prosperous future. The coat of arms was granted in 1868 by Queen Victoria and incorporated into the provincial flag in 1965.

Our Ontario 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.
