WIS 95 (1919) Road Sign Hoodie - Design Description
This hoodie design celebrates the earliest days of Wisconsin's highway system, showcasing the original 1919 marker for State Trunk Highway 95. The design is a faithful reproduction of the very first standardized road sign used by the state.
Artwork & Visual Elements

Contrasting sharply against the white, black lettering and numerals are used to create the classic look.

Centrally positioned below "WIS" is the large, bold number "95" in a clean block font, signifying the specific highway route. This straightforward layout reflects the early era of standardization and clarity in road signage, providing essential information at a glance.
Meaning & Symbolism

It's a tribute to the past, reminding us of the foundations upon which Wisconsin's transportation network was built.
