Indiana 9W 1926 (Indiana) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt features a compelling design inspired by Indiana's rich transportation history. The primary visual element is a stylized representation of a 1926 Indiana road sign. The sign itself takes the shape of the state of Indiana, a nod to the iconic markers used during the "Great Renumbering" of 1926. The silhouette would have been made of steel.
Within the state outline, the number "9W" is prominently displayed. The inclusion of "9W" provides a sense of place. "9W" represents the short-lived alternate alignment of State Road 9, a designation that arose in the late 1930s. The "W" indicates a "west" or "alternate" route.
The design cleverly juxtaposes two distinct eras in Indiana road signage history. The "1926" element refers to the period when the state-shaped signs were introduced. The "9W," however, denotes a route that didn't exist in 1926. This juxtaposition highlights the evolution of Indiana's highway system over time. It evokes a sense of nostalgia for a past era.
