I-70 PA Metric (Pennsylvania) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
Visual Elements
The core design of this t-shirt is a bold, eye-catching representation of a Pennsylvania Interstate 70 road sign. The classic Interstate shield, the iconic emblem of the U.S. highway system, takes center stage. This shield is rendered in its familiar red, white, and blue color scheme, instantly recognizable to anyone familiar with American roadways. Prominently displayed within the shield is the number "70" in large, clear white numerals, signifying Interstate 70.
The design incorporates a playful subversion of expectation. Below the primary I-70 shield, the text "PA METRIC" is prominently displayed. This pairing creates a juxtaposition that speaks to the historical absence of metric signage on American Interstates. It is a tongue-in-cheek commentary on the United States' partial adoption of the metric system.
Meaning and Symbolism
This t-shirt's design is more than just a depiction of a road sign; it's a statement. It represents a journey of infrastructure, and how things "could have been." The inclusion of "PA METRIC" challenges the viewer's assumptions about the established norms of U.S. highway signage.
The design uses road signage as a symbol for the transportation, travel, and the unique history of the U.S. interstate system. The use of familiar colors and shapes makes the shirt immediately relatable, while the addition of the "PA METRIC" component introduces an element of humor and intellectual engagement. It is a visual nod to the historical quirks of U.S. infrastructure and the path not taken.
