SD 105 (South Dakota) (Road Sign) Hoodie - Design Overview
Classic Highway Design
This hoodie showcases a faithful representation of the South Dakota Highway 105 (SD 105) road sign, as it appeared before the route's decommissioning in the 1980s. The design is a tribute to the simplicity and functionality of classic highway signage.
Color Palette and Layout
The design adheres to the standard South Dakota highway signage color scheme: clean, high-contrast black on white. A stark white background provides the visual foundation. Bold, black uppercase letters spell out "SOUTH DAKOTA" across the top, anchoring the design and clearly identifying the state. The central focus is the route number "105," rendered in large, easily readable black numerals.
Shape and Border
The sign itself is presented in its characteristic square or slightly rectangular form, mirroring the original road sign shape. A thin, black rectangular border frames the entire design, providing definition and separation.
Font and Authenticity
The "105" utilizes the FHWA Series D typeface, the standard font used on US highways. This commitment to accurate typography and design ensures the authenticity of the representation.
Symbolism
The SD 105 design signifies a piece of South Dakota's transportation history. It's a nod to a bygone era of straightforward road infrastructure. It also represents a connection to a specific locale, Union County, and the roads that once traversed it.
