I-70 WV Metric (Virginia) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt's artwork presents a whimsical and ironic take on Interstate signage. The central element is a stylized representation of an Interstate 70 road sign, instantly recognizable by its classic red, white, and blue shield and prominent white "70" numeral. However, this is where the design's playful contradiction begins.
Visual Elements & Interpretation
The sign is subtly altered. Rather than displaying standard mileage, the distances are rendered in kilometers, a nod to a future that never materialized for I-70 in West Virginia and Virginia. The inclusion of "(Metric)" alongside the interstate number further emphasizes the humorous juxtaposition of this fictional scenario.
Beneath the primary sign, smaller, strategically placed text elements reinforce the concept. "I-70 WV" and "(Virginia)" are included, specifically acknowledging the non-existence of this particular metric signage in this region, which adds to the comedic effect.
Meaning & Symbolism
The design's core meaning lies in its deliberate absurdity. It playfully critiques the historical shift towards the metric system in the U.S., highlighting its ultimately unrealized implementation on Interstate highways outside of Arizona. The shirt is intended to be a visual joke, appealing to those who appreciate a bit of road trip humor and a keen understanding of transportation history. The design represents an alternate reality, a "what if" scenario for road signage, creating a conversation starter and a humorous tribute to the road network.
