HI-99 (Hawaii) Road Sign T-Shirt - Design Description
This t-shirt showcases the iconic HI-99 road sign, a familiar sight for anyone who has traveled on the island of Oʻahu, Hawaii. The design faithfully replicates the official state route marker.
The Artwork
The central element of the design is the "Hawaii shield," a distinctive shape used for route markers within the state. Inside this shield, the number "99" is prominently displayed, signifying Hawaii Route 99.
The artwork adheres to the standard specifications for highway markers in Hawaii, including the shield's shape and color scheme, based on the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). This design ensures that the t-shirt captures the authentic look of the road sign.
Meaning and Symbolism

For those familiar with Oʻahu, the HI-99 sign is a visual cue of location, direction, and the experience of driving along the Kamehameha Highway corridor. It evokes a sense of travel, exploration, and the beauty of the Hawaiian Islands.
