This t-shirt features a faithful representation of a vintage Connecticut state highway sign for Route 35A. The design captures the nostalgic charm of a bygone era in Connecticut's roadways.
Artwork and Visual Elements
The central element is the iconic Connecticut highway shield.

Inside the shield, the number "35" is prominently displayed, followed by the capital letter "A" to denote it as an alternate route or spur.

Meaning and Symbolism

For those familiar with the history of Ridgefield, the sign serves as a visual reminder of the road's evolution. It evokes a sense of nostalgia for those who remember seeing these signs and celebrates a piece of local history, offering a tangible connection to the past.
