USBA Álvarez de Sotomayor Coat of Arms Sticker - Design Overview

This sticker features the official Coat of Arms (Escudo de Armas) of the USBA “Álvarez de Sotomayor” unit based in Spain. The design is a heraldic masterpiece, carefully constructed to reflect the unit's heritage and location.

Design Elements and Symbolism

The shield is divided horizontally, creating two distinct halves. The upper half, on a silver background, displays the "linaje de Sotomayor" – the Sotomayor lineage from which the unit takes its name. This is visualized through three "fajas jaqueladas," or chequered bands, of red (gules) and gold (oro), with a black sash (ceñidor de sable) draped across them.

The lower half presents a field of blue (azure), symbolizing the sky and sea. Within this field, three silver waves depict the aquatic elements. Superimposed upon the waves is a golden Indalo, a prehistoric symbol native to Almería, the province where the unit is stationed. This Indalo represents the unit's geographic location.

The overall design approved in 1996, effectively merges the history of the Sotomayor lineage with the geographical identity of Almería, creating a visually compelling and deeply symbolic heraldic representation.

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
