Connecticut Highway 71 (Connecticut) (Road Sign) Hoodie Design
Design Overview
This hoodie design showcases the iconic Connecticut Route 71 road sign, a visual representation of a vital north-south state highway in central Connecticut. The design draws directly from the official markers used by the Connecticut Department of Transportation (DOT) to identify and guide motorists along this important route.
Artwork & Visual Elements
The artwork centers around a bold, centrally-positioned "71" rendered in a thick, impactful black font. This number, the core element of the design, represents the specific highway. The numeral is set against a stark white background, a characteristic of Connecticut state route signage. A solid black border encapsulates the design, providing a clear and defined visual boundary.
The design adheres to the standard shape of a Connecticut state highway marker. Depending on the version, the sign may be slightly rectangular, mirroring the common variations found on actual road signs. The layout intentionally mimics the visual language of road signage, instantly recognizable to anyone familiar with Connecticut roads.
Meaning & Symbolism
The design embodies a sense of place and connection to the state of Connecticut. The bold "71" signifies a specific route, a conduit for travel and exploration within the state. The black-on-white color scheme, exclusively used for Connecticut state highways, signifies the design’s direct affiliation with the state's transportation infrastructure. It is a symbol of connectivity, directing motorists along an important local connector between New Britain and West Hartford.
