Louisiana 85 (1924) Road Sign T-Shirt: Design Overview
This t-shirt features a striking design: the Louisiana 85 (1924) road sign. The artwork is a faithful reproduction of a classic highway marker style that originated in the early 1920s in Louisiana, during the establishment of the state's first formal highway system.
Visual Elements and Representation
The design prominently showcases the number "85" within a shield or diamond-shaped graphic, a characteristic feature of road signs from that era. The "85" itself signifies a specific state route designation, representing the historical State Route 85 (or simply "Route 85" as it was numbered in 1924). The use of this style of route marker reflects a bygone era of transportation in Louisiana.
Historical Context and Symbolism
The "1924" designation underscores the historical significance of the design. It's a visual tribute to the initial state highway system of Louisiana, a period before modern highway renumbering and signage conventions took hold. This design is not merely a number, but a window into Louisiana's past, evoking a sense of nostalgia for a time when traveling the state’s roadways was a different experience. The design serves as a nostalgic representation of a specific point in time, before Louisiana's road system was modernized.
