WV-31 1922 (Road Sign) Hoodie - Design
This hoodie design evokes the spirit of early West Virginia highway travel, specifically imagining what a 1922 road sign for WV-31 would have looked like. It's a tribute to a bygone era of road marking and the ingenuity of early signage.
Artwork and Visual Elements
The central design element replicates the distinctive style of the 1922 WV route markers. The artwork features three horizontal bands, meticulously rendered to capture the historical accuracy described in state road commission documents.
At the center, a wide white band is prominently displayed, acting as the canvas for the route designation. On this white expanse, the number "31" is boldly stenciled in a classic font, its size echoing the original 6-inch high numerals used at the time. This detail immediately identifies the road number and serves as the primary focal point.
Flanking the white band are two red bands, each of equal width, mirroring the historical guidelines. This red-white-red arrangement, is a visual signature of the 1922 highway system.
Meaning and Symbolism
The overall design symbolizes the pioneering spirit of early automobile travel and the evolution of West Virginia's infrastructure. It celebrates a piece of the state's transportation history and the unique methods used to navigate the roads a century ago.
The design also acts as a subtle nod to the ephemeral nature of historical artifacts. The absence of surviving "WV-31 (1922)" signs in the real world makes this design a form of remembrance, keeping the memory of early road markings alive.
