WV-12 1922 (Virginia) (Road Sign) Hoodie - Design Description
This hoodie design showcases a pivotal moment in American road history: the very early days of numbered highways. The artwork celebrates the distinct design of a 1922 Virginia (VA-12) road sign. This isn't a reference to West Virginia, despite the item's misleading name - this hoodie features the design of a Virginia road sign!
Artwork Details
The central element of the design is a faithful reproduction of the 1922 Virginia Route 12 road marker. This circular emblem represents a simple yet powerful statement of direction in the early 20th century. The clean white circle provides the backdrop, the black border framing the stark black numeral "12" at its center, with "VIRGINIA" arched above in elegant capital letters. This iconic design echoes the visual simplicity of early highway signage.
Symbolism
The design speaks to a sense of travel, exploration, and the evolution of transportation in America. The round sign represents the beginning of the road network system that would tie the nation together, a time before the widespread use of interstate highways. The simplicity of the design reflects the functional nature of early route markers, intended to guide travelers rather than to be flashy displays. It captures a moment in time, a nostalgic symbol of a bygone era.
The inclusion of "WV-12" in the product name alongside the Virginia sign is a quirk of history. It highlights the early independent nature of these separate state-led highway systems, a reminder of the evolving landscape of travel as the nation grew.
