I-17 1957 (United States) (Road Sign) T-Shirt Design
This t-shirt features a faithful reproduction of the early 1957 Interstate 17 (I-17) road sign, a piece of American transportation history.
Design Elements
The design prominently showcases the iconic Interstate shield, a symbol of the U.S. Interstate Highway System standardized in 1957. The shield shape, reminiscent of a U.S. coat of arms with a rounded top, is the central visual element.
The artwork replicates the historical color scheme. A classic blue field forms the background, providing a striking contrast to the bold white lettering and numerals. Centered on the shield is the designation "I-17," clearly identifying the specific Interstate highway.
Meaning and Symbolism
The I-17 shield on this t-shirt represents a significant period in American infrastructure development. It embodies the ambitious vision of the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, which launched the construction of the Interstate Highway System.
The sign signifies the connection between Phoenix and Flagstaff, Arizona, and the broader network of travel routes it connects to, representing freedom of movement and the evolution of transportation in the United States.
