Louisiana 133 (1955) Road Sign T-Shirt - Design
This t-shirt features a faithful recreation of the vintage Louisiana 133 highway sign, as it appeared in 1955. The design is a nostalgic tribute to the state's historical road system and a tangible piece of Louisiana's heritage.
Artwork and Visual Elements
The central element of the design is a silhouette of the state of Louisiana itself, meticulously cut out to represent the distinctive shape of the 1955 highway markers. Within the outline of Louisiana, the number "133" is prominently displayed. The font is a classic, bold style, typical of the era, and the color scheme often features black numbers against a lighter background, enhancing legibility.
Meaning and Symbolism
The sign embodies the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (La DOTD) renumbering of highways that took effect in 1955. The iconic state shape represents Louisiana itself, connecting the wearer to the state's geographical identity. The “133” indicates the specific route from the junction with Louisiana Highway 4 northeast of Columbia through Dorig to a junction with the U.S. highway U.S. Route 80 near Start — and also (on a separate segment) from near Girard through Oak Ridge to a junction with Louisiana Highway 2 at Mer Rouge. Wearing this design is a nod to a bygone era of Louisiana travel, a reminder of the state’s historical routes and the evolution of its transportation infrastructure.
