This t-shirt features a striking representation of the original Iowa Highway 90 road sign, as it appeared in 1926. The design is a faithful reproduction of the historical route marker, a significant piece of Iowa's early highway system.
The Iconic Shield
The central element of the design is the black-and-white circular shield, the standard shape for Iowa's early road signs. This circular form conveys a sense of unity and standardization, reflecting the state's efforts to create a cohesive network of numbered highways.
A Word and a Number
The word "Iowa" is prominently displayed at the top of the shield, serving as a clear identifier of the state. The route number, "90," is positioned at the bottom, signifying the specific highway it marks.
