Louisiana 197 (2008) Road Sign T-Shirt: Design Details
This t-shirt features the iconic Louisiana Highway 197 route marker, specifically the 2008 design adopted by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (La DOTD).
Artwork and Visual Elements
The design faithfully replicates the official road sign. It presents a square shield composed of a bold, black background. Within this black field, the route number "197" is rendered in a clear, white, sans-serif font. The sharp contrast between the black and white ensures high visibility and readability, echoing the primary function of the original sign.
Design Representation and Meaning
The design symbolizes the Louisiana state highway system and specifically indicates State Highway 197. The black-and-white color scheme, implemented in 2008, represents the standardization of route identification across the state. This unified design creates visual consistency for drivers, simplifying navigation and reinforcing the importance of Louisiana's road network.
Wearing this design conveys an appreciation for Louisiana's infrastructure and the role of its highways in connecting communities. It's a clear statement that says, "I'm on the road (or at least, I appreciate the journey)!"
