New Mexico 15 1932 Hoodie: A Historic Road Sign
This hoodie showcases a design inspired by the classic New Mexico State Road 15 route markers from the early 1930s. The artwork pays homage to a bygone era of highway signage and the rich cultural heritage of the state.
The Zia Sun Symbol
The centerpiece of the design is the iconic Zia sun symbol. This distinctive emblem, prominently displayed on New Mexico's state flag, is more than just a decorative element; it's a powerful symbol representing the Zia Pueblo people. Its circular form, with its radiating arms, embodies the sacred number four, representing the four directions, the four seasons, and the four stages of life. The inclusion of the Zia on the road sign, and now on this hoodie, connects the state's road system to its unique identity and cultural significance.
Color and Style of the 1930s
The design faithfully recreates the visual elements of the historic road sign. The color palette typically features a striking red and black Zia symbol set against a vibrant yellow background, as was common for these early road markers. These colors provide a high-contrast and easily recognizable design. The sign's design also incorporates a small central circle in the middle of the Zia symbol.
Representing History and Place
The "1932" detail further grounds the design in history, reflecting the specific era when this style of road sign was in use. By wearing this hoodie, you are not only displaying a piece of road-related memorabilia, but also wearing a symbol that represents the history, culture, and natural beauty of the State of New Mexico.
