I-79 PA Metric (Pennsylvania) Road Sign T-Shirt - Design
This t-shirt features a striking design inspired by the iconic interstate highway signage of Pennsylvania. The artwork cleverly plays on the historical absence of metric signage on I-79, making it a tongue-in-cheek statement about the U.S.'s partial adoption of the metric system.
Visual Elements and Representation
The central element is a bold rendering of a classic Interstate shield. The familiar red, white, and blue design immediately identifies the route as a U.S. Interstate, specifically I-79. The text "79" prominently displays the route number, and the word "PENNSYLVANIA" affirms its location within the Keystone State.
The design's key symbolic gesture is the inclusion of "METRIC" alongside the I-79 and Pennsylvania branding. The juxtaposition highlights the historical and ongoing resistance to full metric conversion within the U.S. road system, making it a playful commentary on this aspect of American infrastructure.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design acts as a humorous visual reminder of the persistent use of miles in American road signage. It's a statement about the choices made regarding units of measurement in the U.S. and a nod to the fact that I-79 signage in Pennsylvania will forever remain in miles, and not kilometers. The design represents an intersection of place, identity, and the idiosyncrasies of national standards.
