Connecticut Highway 113 Wide Hoodie Design
This hoodie showcases a striking representation of the Connecticut Route 113 wide road sign, a prominent visual element within the state's highway system. The design faithfully recreates the iconic signage, instantly recognizable to anyone familiar with Stratford, Connecticut, and its surrounding areas.
Design Elements and Symbolism
The core of the design is the horizontally rectangular shape with rounded corners, a direct reflection of the wide variant of the official Connecticut Route 113 marker. This shape symbolizes the road itself, the thoroughfare connecting key points within Stratford.
The design adheres to the standard Connecticut highway sign color scheme: a clean white background provides a neutral canvas. A crisp black border, a thin rectangular outline, frames the design, providing definition and visual clarity. The contrast is further enhanced by the black uppercase text "CONNECTICUT" arching gracefully across the top of the sign. This text establishes the sign's geographic context, linking it directly to the state.
At the heart of the design are the bold black numerals "113," prominently displayed in the center. These numerals are the definitive identifier of Connecticut Route 113, signifying its presence and providing a crucial piece of directional information. This element is the focal point, immediately communicating the route's identity.
The aspect ratio, a wider-than-tall format, intentionally reflects the distinctive shape of the "wide" sign version. This variation speaks to the design's purpose – to be eye-catching and visible, making it an attention-grabbing statement for any wearer who wants to represent their home state or their favorite travel destinations in Connecticut.
