Illinois 142 (Illinois) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt features a bold and instantly recognizable design: the official road sign for Illinois Route 142. The artwork directly replicates the iconic shield shape and color scheme mandated by the Illinois Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices.
Visual Elements
The design utilizes a clean and simple aesthetic. The dominant color is a crisp, bright white, forming the background and the outline of the shield. Above the route number, the word "ILLINOIS" is prominently displayed in a bold, sans-serif font, using the same black color as the numbers. The route number, "142", is centered beneath in a similar, equally eye-catching style.
Meaning and Symbolism
The primary meaning of this design is clear: it represents Illinois Route 142. The shield acts as a symbol of wayfinding and the interconnectedness of communities within southeastern Illinois. By wearing this design, you're signaling an affinity for local roads and the charm of rural and semi-rural travel, as this route connects smaller towns to larger hubs like Mount Vernon. It's a statement of local pride and appreciation for the state's highway system.
