Arizona 186 1973 Road Sign T-Shirt: Design Overview
This t-shirt showcases a piece of Arizona's transportation history: the 1973 Arizona State Route 186 highway shield. The design directly replicates the distinctive signage used on Arizona roadways during that era.
Artwork and Visuals
The central element of the design is the state highway shield itself. The number "186" is prominently displayed, set within the unmistakable outline of the state of Arizona. This visual representation immediately identifies the specific highway – State Route 186 – and its location within the state.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design is more than just a depiction of a road sign; it's a nostalgic emblem representing a specific period in Arizona's history and its transportation infrastructure. It signifies the routes, travels, and journeys undertaken across the state during the 1970s. The shape of Arizona acts as the canvas, uniting the highway number with the geographical identity of the state.
The design also embodies the standardization efforts of the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), reflecting the design standards of that era, and offers a glimpse into how the state visually marked its roads and pathways.
