Giske T-shirt – The lion from the coat of arms | Sunnmøre

Giske 🦁
Wear your municipality.

A t-shirt for those with their heart in Giske — the island municipality on Sunnmøre where the Giske family once ruled over large parts of Norway. The motif features the lion from the municipal coat of arms, approved in 1985, taken from the seal of Erling Vidkunnson (1292–1355) — the man from Giske who was at times high steward and chancellor of Norway, one of the most powerful men in the country's history.

Not a reinterpretation, but faithful to the official coat of arms — the golden lion against blue, redrawn with the sun and sea in the background, a reminder of how far the history of Giske actually stretches.

For permanent residents, former residents, and everyone who carries the community with them — whether by the sea, in the city, or out in the world.

A t-shirt for anyone with their heart in Giske — the island municipality on Sunnmøre once home to the powerful Giske family. The design carries the lion from the official coat of arms (approved 1985), based on the seal of Erling Vidkunnsson (1292–1355), a Giske nobleman who served as Norway's High Steward and chancellor — one of the most powerful men in the country's medieval history.
