I-287 NJ Metric (New Jersey) T-Shirt: Design Details
This t-shirt showcases the design of the I-287 NJ Metric road sign, a unique piece of American road signage adapted for metric measurements. The design directly mirrors the official interstate highway shield for I-287 in New Jersey, but with a metric twist, representing a specific adherence to design standards.
Visual Elements and Representation
The artwork centers on a shield, a familiar shape in American road signs, containing a blue background and a red border. Centered within the shield is the iconic "I-287" route designation, presented in the Roadgeek 2005 font. This font choice is crucial, as it’s the standard used on roadways to ensure easy legibility. The "NJ" in white below the route number explicitly identifies the state of origin: New Jersey. The colors, based on Pantone Red 187 and Blue 294, are accurately rendered in RGB for digital visual consistency.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design’s primary function is to represent Interstate 287, a critical highway in New Jersey that loops around New York City. The metric version specifically speaks to the intersection of different systems, in this case, the predominant imperial system of US road signage combined with metric measurements. The design serves as a visual reminder of the infrastructure that connects regions and the constant process of adaptation in our world, reflecting a blend of engineering and design principles.
