WV-63 1922 (Virginia) (Road Sign) Hoodie - Design Description
This hoodie design evokes the spirit of early automobile travel in West Virginia, celebrating the genesis of the state's numbered highway system in 1922. The artwork recreates the look and feel of a vintage road sign, a relic of a simpler time.
Artwork & Visual Elements
The central element of the design is a stylized representation of the original WV-63 road marker. The design follows the historical description of early signage: two red bands framing a white central panel. Within the white panel, the bold "63" is clearly stenciled, mirroring the method of route identification used in 1922.
The addition of "WV-63" is placed at the top, ensuring clear identification of the route. The year "1922" is subtly incorporated to signify the historical context, grounding the design in its period of origin. The inclusion of "(Virginia)" is an intentional design choice to pay homage to the original location and context of the road sign.
Meaning & Symbolism
The design is a direct visual link to West Virginia's early automotive history. It represents the state's initial efforts to organize and identify its roads, marking a significant moment in the development of modern infrastructure and the freedom of automobile travel.
The simplicity of the design, reflecting the rudimentary marking methods of the era, serves as a nostalgic reminder of a bygone age. It speaks to a time when travel was less about speed and more about the experience of the open road, and the road signs were part of the adventure of exploring.
