Arizona 82 1941 (Arizona) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Overview
This t-shirt features a faithful representation of the Arizona State Route 82 highway shield as it appeared in 1941. The design is a direct tribute to the historical road signage used in Arizona during the early part of the 20th century, specifically the distinctive markers used to designate state highways.
A Historic Icon
The central element of the design is the number "82" prominently displayed within a shield shaped like the state of Arizona. This is a nod to the unique state-shaped route markers used by Arizona's highway department during the 1930s and 1940s. The "82" itself signifies Arizona State Route 82, a historic east-west route that connected communities in southern Arizona.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design carries a strong historical significance. It represents a specific moment in Arizona's transportation history, reflecting the signage standards and visual culture of the time. For road enthusiasts, historians, and collectors, this design serves as a tangible link to the past, reminding us of the evolution of road networks and the early days of automobile travel in Arizona.
The inclusion of the state's outline reinforces a sense of place and identity, while the numerical designation offers a practical reference to the route itself. It’s a design that speaks to a bygone era of open roads and the adventurous spirit of early motoring.
