Connecticut Highway 135 (Wide) Hoodie - Design Description
This hoodie showcases the iconic design of the Connecticut Route 135 road sign, rendered in a striking and instantly recognizable format. The artwork centers around the official Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) road sign design, a symbol of local navigation and a nod to the specific route.
Artwork and Visual Elements
The dominant element is the "wide" rectangular design used for Connecticut state route signs with three-digit numbers. This expanded format ensures clear visibility and readability of the route number. The design mirrors the standard state highway sign, featuring a reflective white background, which is the base of the design. The border is a thin, clean black outline that defines the overall shape. At the top of the design, the word "CONNECTICUT" appears in small, uppercase black letters, identifying the sign's origin.
The central and most prominent feature is the number "135." These three bold, black numerals are centered within the rectangle. The font is designed for optimal legibility from a distance, echoing the functional purpose of the original road sign.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design's symbolism is direct and functional. The Connecticut Route 135 sign signifies a specific roadway, a vital link within the town of Fairfield, Connecticut. The inclusion of the "CONNECTICUT" identifier grounds the design in the state's geography. It speaks to a sense of place, local pride, and a connection to the roadways that connect communities and provide navigation. The design represents a commitment to clear communication, precision, and the functional beauty found in everyday public design.
