Colorado 137 (1946) Road Sign T-Shirt: Design & Visuals
This t-shirt showcases a historically significant design: the Colorado 137 (1946) state highway route marker. The artwork faithfully reproduces the original signage style used in Colorado around the year 1946.
Design Elements
The design features the distinctive heptagonal shape, or "shield," that was a hallmark of early Colorado state highway markers. The form is a direct representation of the physical road sign.
The number "137" is prominently displayed, designating State Highway 137 as it was identified during the mid-20th century. The inclusion of "COLORADO" at the top indicates the state jurisdiction, solidifying its place within the historical context of road signage.
Meaning & Symbolism
The design encapsulates the era of pre-interstate highways, representing a simpler, more utilitarian approach to route identification. It symbolizes the early development of Colorado's state-wide highway system and evokes the feel of mid-century American road travel.
The shield shape, along with the bold typography, offers a strong visual statement that speaks to a specific time and place, capturing the spirit of exploration and the development of transportation infrastructure.
