WA-168 (Washington) (Road Sign) Hoodie - Design
This hoodie celebrates the hypothetical Washington State Route 168 (WA-168), a state highway that was planned but never came to fruition. The design embodies the spirit of Washington's state highway system, specifically paying homage to this unbuilt route.
Artwork and Visual Elements
The central design element is a faithful representation of a Washington State Route marker. It features a square, rendered in the iconic green background, mirroring the standard road signs found across the state. Within the square, the design incorporates the well-recognized white silhouette of George Washington's head, facing left in profile. This profile is a cornerstone of Washington State's identity, symbolizing its connection to the first president and the state's namesake.
The number "168" appears prominently in white, positioned centrally within the silhouette of George Washington, precisely as it would appear on an actual state route sign. The overall aesthetic is clean and classic, reflecting the straightforward and functional purpose of road signage.
Meaning and Symbolism
The WA-168 design is steeped in symbolism. It is an ode to the open road and Washington’s state infrastructure, embracing the ambition of planned roads, and the legacy of Washington State's transportation endeavors. The use of the green square and the white George Washington silhouette connects the design to the broader iconography of the state, evoking a sense of pride and connection to Washington's heritage.
The "168" itself represents the unfulfilled promise of a new route, hinting at exploration, potential, and the journeys that could have been. In its simplicity, this design captures the essence of Washington State Route markers – iconic, recognizable, and deeply rooted in the state's identity.
