This t-shirt showcases a classic piece of Idaho history: the 1955 state highway route marker for Route 49. The design is a bold and instantly recognizable emblem of the era, paying homage to the mid-20th-century standardization of highway signage across the United States.
Design Elements
The design prominently features the outline of the state of Idaho, a defining element that immediately connects the marker to its geographic location. This outline is typically rendered in a contrasting color, often black, providing a strong visual border. Within the state's outline, the route number "49" is displayed, usually in a bold font for clear visibility from a distance. Above the route number, the word "IDAHO" is prominently featured to identify the state.

The retro design also speaks to a simpler time, when driving was an integral part of American life.
