Artwork and Visual Elements
The core of the design is the circular route marker, a defining characteristic of Iowa's highway system from 1948 onward. The word "IOWA" arches elegantly across the top of the circle, rendered in a bold, easy-to-read font. Beneath, the number "35" is prominently displayed, signifying the specific highway route.

This design symbolizes the transition from more rudimentary marking methods to a standardized system, improving navigation for travelers across the state. The classic color palette, likely reflecting the original sign's colors, enhances the design's vintage appeal, making this t-shirt a tangible connection to Iowa's past.
