Iowa 179 (Iowa) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
Visual Representation
This t-shirt features a bold graphic recreation of the Iowa 179 state highway sign. The design centers around a circular shield, the standard shape used by Iowa for its highway markers. Within this shape, the number "179" commands attention.
Color and Symbolism
The design adheres to the typical Iowa state highway sign color scheme: a stark contrast between a white background and dark, likely black, numbers. This provides maximum visibility and readability, reflecting the sign's original purpose: to guide travelers. The white background and dark number combination is a standard that conveys authority and directness. The bold "179" within the shield is the central visual element, clearly identifying the former route.
Historical Context & Meaning
The artwork represents a piece of Iowa's transportation history. Iowa 179, though decommissioned, once served as a vital link, connecting US 69 to the town of Klemme. The sign embodies the spirit of travel, and the changing landscape of roads. It's a tribute to a bygone era of highways and the simple design of a road sign that once guided drivers. The shirt design is a celebration of those who remember the highway and a gateway to understanding the history of Iowa's roadways.
