Illinois 85 (Illinois) Road Sign T-Shirt: Design Description
The design of this t-shirt evokes the historical presence of Illinois Route 85. The artwork primarily centers on a stylized representation of a road sign associated with this route, either in its former state highway form or as an internal IDOT inventory route.
Sign Elements and Symbolism
The central visual element is a road sign. Depending on the interpretation, the sign could be:
- A classic, older-style Illinois state highway marker, likely a black-and-white shield with "IL 85" displayed in a stylized font. This could symbolize the history and past of the route.
- A white square sign with a green divided circle featuring the number 85. This sign, characteristic of IDOT inventory routes, symbolizes the enduring presence and maintenance of the road even after decommissioning. The green and white color scheme represents the state's ongoing commitment to infrastructure.
The design often includes the "Illinois" state affiliation within the artwork, further emphasizing the state's legacy and its connection to the road. Overall the road sign imagery is representative of a journey and a sense of place. It can serve as a subtle nod to the state's infrastructure and history, especially for those familiar with Illinois’ road systems.
