I-35 KS 1957 (Kansas) Road Sign T-Shirt Design
This t-shirt features a faithful representation of the original I-35 KS road sign used in Kansas during the inception of the Interstate Highway System in 1957. The design captures the essence of early American highway signage.
Visual Elements & Symbolism
At the core of the design is the classic shield shape, a symbol of guidance and direction on the open road. The top banner, colored a vibrant red, boldly proclaims "INTERSTATE" in crisp white lettering, immediately communicating the type of highway the sign designates. This bold proclamation highlights the significance of the national highway system.
Beneath the banner, a large blue field displays the white "35" numerals, identifying the specific route of Interstate 35. The contrasting colors of the blue background and white numerals ensure high visibility, even at a distance. The number "35" specifically denotes the roadway in Kansas, which connected to the interstate network.
A clean white outline borders the entire shield, providing definition and enhancing the sign's clarity. Some versions of the original signs included "KANSAS" at the bottom, signifying the state in which the highway is located. This addition provides context and further establishes the sign's geographic meaning, reflecting how the roadway connects the region.
This design is not just a visual representation; it's a nostalgic nod to the spirit of early interstate travel. It embodies the era of the open road, representing the initial stages of highway development that helped shape the nation.
