Alabama 247 (Road Sign) Hoodie - Design Overview
This hoodie showcases a striking graphic representation of the official Alabama State Route 247 road sign. The design directly references the state's established highway signage system, offering a bold statement for fans of Alabama and highway iconography.
The Iconic Alabama Shield
At the heart of the design lies the recognizable Alabama State Route shield. This shield, often designated as sign type M1-5, features a distinctive shape: a rectangle framing a stylized outline of the state of Alabama itself. This inherent imagery immediately identifies the design as a representation of Alabama and its transportation network.
Numeral Representation
Superimposed upon the Alabama outline is the prominent numeral "247." This signifies State Route 247 (SR 247), a specific highway segment within the northern part of the state, directly linking the design to this particular road and its geographic context.
Color & Contrast
The design adheres to the standard color scheme of the official road sign. The numerals "247" are rendered in bold black, providing strong contrast against a white or light background within the Alabama outline. The overall effect is a clean and easily readable design that stays true to the authenticity of the official sign.
Symbolism
The design, through its use of the official highway shield, represents connection, mobility, and the road network within Alabama. It's a visual homage to the state's infrastructure and a subtle nod to the journey and exploration associated with travel.
