WIS 99 (Wisconsin) Road Sign Hoodie - Design Overview
Design Elements
This hoodie design celebrates the history of WIS 99, a former state highway in Wisconsin. The artwork showcases the evolution of the road sign's visual identity over time, offering a glimpse into the past.
Historical Representation
The design incorporates three distinct WIS 99 sign styles. The first, from the 1919 era, is represented by a white square featuring a prominent black circle containing the number "99." This original design is a nod to early 20th-century road signage.
The second design, reflecting the period from the 1920s to the 1940s, presents a white square with the word "WISCONSIN" spelled out across the top, and the number "99" centered below in a bold black font. This design represents a shift towards more legible and standardized signage.
The final, modern design showcases the familiar black-on-white square shield, a common symbol of Wisconsin state routes from 1948 until the route's decommissioning in 1999. It displays "WISCONSIN" across the top, and the number "99" prominently below. This represents the final era of WIS 99 as a state-maintained highway.
Symbolism and Meaning
The design serves as a visual timeline, telling the story of WIS 99's legacy. It captures a piece of Wisconsin's history, commemorating the route that once connected Eagle and Mukwonago. The evolution of the road sign designs also represents the progress of road infrastructure over time.
