Virginia 261 1980 (Virginia) (Road Sign) Hoodie - Design Description
This hoodie design showcases a faithful representation of the Virginia Route 261 road sign as it appeared in 1980. The artwork pays homage to the distinctive primary route highway markers used throughout the state.
Visual Elements
The central design element is the iconic Virginia highway shield shape, a pointed-top, flat-bottom silhouette, rendered with a heavy black outline. This shape immediately identifies the route as part of Virginia's primary highway system. The background of the shield is a solid white, representing the reflective surface mandated by the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) for nighttime visibility.
At the top of the shield, the word "VIRGINIA" is displayed in a small, uppercase, sans-serif font, clearly identifying the jurisdiction. In the center of the shield, prominently displayed in a large, bold, sans-serif font, are the black numerals "261". This signifies the specific route number of the highway.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design represents the historical presence of Virginia Route 261. The 1980 road sign symbolizes navigation, connectivity, and the infrastructure that supports travel. It serves as a graphic representation of a vital part of Harrisonburg's transportation network, linking major U.S. highways and providing a relief route around the city center. It is a nostalgic nod to an era of classic road signage.
