Illinois 89B (Illinois) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt showcases the iconic design of the Illinois 89B road sign. The artwork replicates the state highway route marker, a familiar symbol for travelers and locals alike. The design is a direct representation of the "Illinois Route" sign style, adhering to the specifications outlined in the Illinois Supplement to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), specifically sign M‑I100.
Visual Elements and Meaning
The central element of the design is the shield, bearing the stylized "Illinois Route" lettering and the number "89B." The "B" suffix is crucial; it signifies that this was a branch, spur, alternate, or variant route of the primary Route 89. This detail hints at a history of road networks and changes within the Illinois highway system.
The design, therefore, represents a piece of Illinois's transportation history. It's a visual reminder of a bygone route, a road once traveled but now incorporated into others, like Illinois Route 18. This t-shirt design celebrates the legacy of a now-defunct road, offering a connection to the state’s past and a conversation starter for those interested in Illinois history and road systems.
