Historical Significance
The William & Mary College Tartan embodies a rich heritage that dates back to the early 18th century when Tartan became synonymous with Scottish identity. Originating from the Scottish Highlands, this distinctive pattern was not just a fabric but a symbol of clan allegiance and cultural pride. The tartan is named after the College of William and Mary, one of the oldest higher education institutions in the United States, founded in 1693. This connection highlights the enduring influence of Scottish culture, particularly in the context of American education.
Color Scheme & Pattern
The William & Mary College Tartan features a harmonious blend of deep green, royal blue, bright yellow, and white, and black crisp, each with special significance to the college. The rich forest green represents the lush, historic campus grounds. The royal blue symbolizes the waters of the James River that flows nearby. The bright golden yellow mirrors the academic achievements, while white and black lines add purity and decency. Made from 100% acrylic wool, this tartan offers durability and comfort, making it suitable for various occasions.
