Louisiana 145 (1955) Road Sign T-Shirt
This t-shirt features a faithful representation of the Louisiana Highway 145 road sign as it appeared in 1955. The design is a direct reproduction of the official signage from that era, a symbol of a significant moment in Louisiana's transportation history.
Artwork and Visual Elements
The central element of the design is the iconic shield, a white-bordered outline that served as the backdrop for the route number. Within the shield, the bold number "145" is prominently displayed, rendered in a typeface consistent with the official standards of the time.
Meaning and Symbolism
The "145" emblem signifies the historic State Route 145, as it was designated following the 1955 renumbering of Louisiana's highway system. This renumbering was a pivotal moment, introducing a more organized classification of routes. The sign acts as a direct reference to a specific road, and represents Louisiana's history of public works.
The design also pays tribute to the era's design language, with its simple, clear, and functional aesthetic. The sign is not meant to be fancy, only informative, and that is what makes it so special. It's a testament to the essential role of road signs in navigation and route identification, and their evolution throughout the 20th century.
