Louisiana 137 1955 (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt features a bold and instantly recognizable design: the iconic road sign for Louisiana Highway 137, rendered in the distinctive style of the 1955 Louisiana highway renumbering.
Artwork and Visual Elements
The artwork centers on a shield-shaped graphic that echoes the outline of the state of Louisiana, a signature element of the 1955 signage. Within this stylized state outline, the number "137" is prominently displayed, using a classic, clean typeface that was standard for Louisiana highway markers of the era.
The color scheme evokes the mid-20th century aesthetic of the original signs, using a combination of green and white, characteristic of the state's highway system during that period. The colors are intentionally chosen to reflect the style that evokes nostalgia.
Meaning and Symbolism
The "Louisiana 137 1955" design is a tribute to a bygone era of Louisiana's transportation history. It directly references the original state highway designation LA 137, which existed under the 1955 renumbering system.
The design serves as a visual reminder of the state's historical road system. It evokes a sense of nostalgia for classic Americana.
