I-97 (United States) (Road Sign) Hoodie Design
This hoodie design showcases the iconic I-97 Interstate shield, a symbol instantly recognizable to travelers in Maryland and across the United States. The artwork centers around the standard U.S. Interstate shield design, a universally understood element of American highway signage.
Visual Elements and Meaning
The design prominently features the shield's classic shape: a rounded-top rectangle with a flat bottom. The color scheme adheres to the established Interstate standard. A vibrant red banner at the top boldly displays the word "INTERSTATE" in crisp white lettering, conveying the route's designation.
Beneath the red banner, a rich blue field forms the background. Within this blue space, the white numerals "97" command attention. These numbers specifically identify Interstate 97, marking a primary north-south route within the state of Maryland. The design effectively communicates its purpose: to guide and inform motorists traveling along this important urban corridor.
Symbolism and Representation
The I-97 shield is more than just a marker; it represents connection and mobility. The presence of the design evokes the experience of traversing the highway, linking Baltimore to Annapolis and the Washington D.C. area. It signifies a journey, a direct route, and an established system of travel.
Furthermore, the design's adherence to the standardized Interstate shield form connects it to a larger national network. The design, as a visual element, embodies the standardized visual language of American highways.
