M-98 (Michigan) Road Sign T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt features a bold and instantly recognizable design paying homage to the former M-98, a piece of Michigan's transportation history. The artwork centers around the iconic road sign that once marked this route in Luce County, Upper Peninsula.
Design Elements
The primary visual element is a faithful representation of the M-98 Michigan road sign. This sign's design is striking in its simplicity and clarity. The foundation is a square with a solid black background, providing a strong visual base.
At the top of the sign, a white triangle with a black outline holds a central "M", indicating a Michigan state trunkline. Below this, large white numerals "98" clearly designate the specific route number. The contrast between the white elements and the black background ensures maximum visibility, a crucial function for its original purpose.

The sign is a symbol of a bygone era, recalling a time when the Michigan highway system was developing and expanding. For those familiar with Michigan's Upper Peninsula, it evokes memories and associations with the landscape and the region's heritage.
