K-226 (Kansas) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Overview
This t-shirt showcases the iconic visual representation of Kansas Highway 226: a piece of bygone road history. The artwork focuses on the highway's official signage, a key element in identifying and navigating the route during its operational lifespan.
Highway Shield Design
At the heart of the design is the state highway shield. This central element embodies the identity of K-226. The shape, reflecting the historical signage from the 1960s and 70s, signifies that this was a route once recognized and maintained by the state of Kansas.
Numbering and Symbolism
Within the shield, the prominent "226" indicates the specific route designation. This numeral isn't just an identifier; it represents the specific link K-226 provided, connecting US 81 and I-235 in Wichita. The number is the visual symbol of connectivity and the brief, yet functional, existence of this short-lived highway.
Historical Reflection
The design serves as a nostalgic tribute to the Kansas highway system's past. By capturing the look and feel of the original road sign, the t-shirt design transports the viewer back to an era when state highways played a pivotal role in the local infrastructure.
