Louisiana 1138-1 (Road Sign) Hoodie - Design
This hoodie features the iconic Louisiana 1138-1 road sign design, a symbol of the state's highway system and a marker of a specific route in the Lake Charles area.
Design Elements
The artwork replicates the modern Louisiana state highway marker. The central element is the simplified outline of the state of Louisiana itself, instantly recognizable to anyone familiar with the region. This shape serves as the foundation for the design.
The route number, "1138-1," is prominently displayed within the Louisiana outline. This designation, rendered in a bold, black FHWA Series D or E font, clearly identifies the specific road segment, distinguishing it within the larger Louisiana highway network. The inclusion of the "-1" suffix denotes this is a branch or connector route related to LA 1138.
The design adheres to the standard color scheme of Louisiana road signs. A white, reflective background provides high visibility, complemented by a black border that defines the state outline and route number. The dash ( "-") is a short, horizontal black line, consistent with how it appears on Louisiana road signs.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design represents the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LaDOTD) and the Louisiana State Highway System. The sign's presence signifies the existence and maintenance of a specific road segment, LA 1138-1. More broadly, the design symbolizes the state’s infrastructure and the interconnectedness of its roadways.
The use of the state outline is a patriotic touch, imbuing the design with a sense of place and local pride, representing Louisiana as a whole.
