This t-shirt showcases the iconic HI-480 road sign found on the island of Kauai, Hawaii. The design is a faithful representation of the official state route markers used throughout the Hawaiian Islands.
Artwork and Visual Elements

Centered within this distinctive island outline is the number “480”, displayed in a bold, sans-serif font. The numerals are also presented in black, ensuring clear visibility and a striking contrast that is characteristic of the original road sign.
Meaning and Symbolism

The white islands silhouette, set on the black background, is a standardized element of Hawaiian highway signage. This design is easily identifiable as a marker of the specific location and the unique geography of Hawaii. The bold “480” visually communicates the specific route number.
The design connects the wearer to the island of Kauai, and its communities, particularly Hanapepe and Kalaheo. It also signifies the journey, access, and experience of navigating the Hawaiian landscape by road.
