Visual Elements and Representation
The central element of the design is the iconic M-23 road sign itself. The design likely includes the classic shield or rectangular shape characteristic of early Michigan state highway markers. The "M-23" designation is prominently displayed, reflecting the specific route number. The year "1926" is integrated, clearly denoting the timeframe when this sign would have been in active use.

Meaning and Symbolism
The M-23 road sign represents a crucial period in Michigan's history of road building and early automotive travel. It symbolizes the development of a state-wide highway system connecting urban centers, such as Detroit, with rural areas and eventually connecting with other states. It also pays tribute to the establishment of the U.S. Highway System.
The use of the vintage road sign imagery invokes a sense of nostalgia for classic Americana. By wearing this design, you're embracing the pioneering spirit of early motorists and acknowledging the significance of early road networks that shaped the modern world.
