WV-70 1948 (Virginia) Road Sign Hoodie - Design Description
This hoodie showcases a vintage-inspired design that evokes the spirit of mid-20th-century American road travel. The central element is a graphic representation of a "WV-70" road sign, rendered to reflect the style and appearance of signage used around 1948, following the implementation of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) standards.
Artwork Details
The "WV-70" emblem takes center stage, likely depicted as a white square with a rounded letterform design, a hallmark of the period's route markers. The "WV" prefix, prominently displayed, signifies "West Virginia," clearly identifying the route's association with the state's highway system. The year "1948" is subtly incorporated, either beneath the route marker or within the design, reinforcing the historical context and the time period when these types of signs were prevalent. While the "Virginia" aspect is also included in parentheses, the design clearly points to the West Virginia route, not a Virginia-specific sign.
Meaning and Symbolism
The overall design symbolizes a journey back in time, reflecting the era of classic American road trips. The road sign itself becomes a symbol of travel, exploration, and the open road. The inclusion of the "1948" year adds a layer of nostalgia, instantly connecting the wearer to a specific moment in automotive and transportation history. The design represents an appreciation for the past, the simple elegance of vintage design, and the historical evolution of road signage.
