Elkhart County Road 41 IN (Indiana) Hoodie - Design Description
Modern Design: A Standard of Indiana County Roads
The central artwork replicates the iconic Elkhart County Road 41 road sign, a familiar sight for anyone traversing the local roads of Elkhart County, Indiana. The design’s primary feature is its adherence to the state’s standardized county route marker: a square shield with a vibrant blue background. Bold yellow (gold) lettering and border give it high visibility.
The design clearly presents the road's identification: the county name “ELKHART” arcs across the top, while the large numeral "41" commands the center, indicating the road's designation. Beneath the number, "COUNTY ROAD" (or sometimes just "COUNTY") is displayed, further clarifying the road's jurisdiction. The color scheme and the square format directly reflect the INDOT (Indiana Department of Transportation) standard, immediately signaling a county-maintained route within the state's grid system. This design represents reliable navigation and the established infrastructure of the county.
Historic Design: A Nod to Local History
The design also features an older, alternative version, reminiscent of signage from the 1960s. This version presents a simpler, starker aesthetic with a white or silver background and black text. This design often features just "ELKHART 41" or "CR 41". This more minimalist approach represents an era of simpler road design, and an era when uniformity across the state was less important. This design evokes the evolution of road markings and the passage of time.
Symbolism
The designs combined celebrate local infrastructure. The color scheme and wording symbolize the road's purpose as a connector within the county and its part within the larger state system. Both designs embody a sense of place and local pride, representing the network of roads and the history of Elkhart County, Indiana.
