I-265 IN 1961 (United States) (Road Sign) Hoodie - Design Description
Historical Road Sign Tribute
This hoodie showcases a historically accurate representation of a conceptual I-265 road sign as it would have appeared in Indiana in 1961. It pays homage to the early days of the U.S. Interstate Highway System, specifically the planned Louisville beltway that would eventually be designated I-265.
Classic Interstate Design
The core of the design is the iconic Interstate shield. It features the classic red banner at the top, boldly proclaiming "INTERSTATE." Beneath, a deep blue field houses the route number, "265," rendered in stark white. The entire shield is framed by a crisp white border, completing the instantly recognizable form. The font utilized is the FHWA Highway Gothic Series D/E, the standard for Interstate signage in 1961, exhibiting a slightly taller and narrower appearance compared to modern iterations. The spacing of the digits accommodates the three-digit route designation, a detail meticulously observed for historical accuracy.
Conceptual Significance
The design represents a road that was in the planning stages in 1961, rather than being built. It serves as a visual reminder of the forward-thinking vision and engineering prowess that constructed the Interstate system. The inclusion of "IN" for Indiana signifies the planned location of this segment of I-265, further grounding the design in its historical context.
