Connecticut Highway 149 (Road Sign) Hoodie - Design Description
A Classic Route Marker
This hoodie prominently features the official Connecticut Route 149 road sign, a visual emblem of travel and exploration within the state. The design adheres strictly to the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) standards for primary state route markers.
The Emblem's Details
The artwork centers around a clean, white square, a canvas for the essential information. A thin, black border neatly frames the design, providing contrast and definition. Across the top, the word "CONNECTICUT" is emblazoned in a clear, uppercase black font, firmly establishing the location.
Beneath the state name, the crucial element takes center stage: the large, bold black numerals "149". These numerals are centered within the square, clearly and directly communicating the specific route number. This stark simplicity is a key element of the design's readability and the instant recognition of the route.
Meaning and Representation
The design represents the essence of Route 149 itself. It symbolizes a journey through scenic landscapes and historic towns in east-central Connecticut. More broadly, it speaks to the spirit of exploration and connection that roads facilitate. The road sign design, by its very nature, is a symbol of guidance, direction, and the open road.
The use of the CTDOT-approved design reinforces the authenticity of the artwork, connecting the wearer to the official infrastructure and the network of Connecticut highways.
Unisex Heavy-Blend Hoodie

Product Highlights
Made from a thick cotton/polyester blend, this hoodie feels plush the moment you put it on. The fabric traps warmth without feeling bulky, and the soft brushed interior keeps it gentle against the skin — perfect for chilly mornings, late-night walks, or working from the couch.
Practical details matter: the spacious kangaroo pocket gives your hands a place to warm up and keeps small essentials close, while a matching drawstring adds a refined touch that won't clash with print or embroidery. Built with reinforced seams and a balanced weight, it wears like your favorite sweatshirt from week one.
