A Nod to History
The design prominently displays the "HI-WPR 223" designation within a shield, a shape emblematic of classic road signage. The shield's design is directly based on a 1944 photograph, meticulously echoing the typography and style of the 1926 U.S. Highway route markers. The "WPR" at the heart of the design signifies "Wartime Primary Route," immediately connecting the artwork to its historical purpose.

This design is not just a visual representation; it's a conversation starter, sparking curiosity about a fascinating and often overlooked period.
The design serves as a wearable tribute to a bygone era. It's a statement piece, blending historical significance with a bold, distinctive visual style that instantly stands out.
