I-79 PA 1957 (Pennsylvania) Road Sign Hoodie Design
A Classic Interstate Symbol
This hoodie design captures the essence of the original 1957 I-79 PA Interstate Highway shield, a piece of Americana representing the birth of the modern highway system in Pennsylvania. The artwork replicates the iconic visual language of the era.
Color and Composition
At the top, a bold red banner proudly displays the word "INTERSTATE" in crisp white lettering. This immediately identifies the road as part of the nationwide Interstate Highway System. Below, a vibrant blue field takes center stage, featuring a large, attention-grabbing white "79" numeral. This bold numbering clearly marks the specific route, making it easily identifiable from a distance. A stark white border surrounds the entire shield, providing sharp contrast and ensuring the design stands out.
Symbolism of the Design
The design itself is more than just a visual; it represents progress and connectivity. The Interstate system, symbolized by this shield, transformed travel and commerce, linking communities and opening up new opportunities. The color scheme of red, white, and blue, the colors of the American flag, reinforces the connection to national unity and infrastructure development. The simple, clean design reflects the optimistic spirit of the late 1950s and the forward-thinking vision behind the Interstate Highway System.
Pennsylvania Connection
This specific design incorporates the state abbreviation, PA, emphasizing the connection to the state of Pennsylvania. This particular route was an important artery, linking communities across the state from Erie in the north to the West Virginia border to the south.
