MN-101 1948 (Minnesota) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt showcases a faithful reproduction of the MN-101 highway sign as it appeared in 1948, a pivotal year for Minnesota's highway signage.
Artwork and Visual Elements
The central design element is a black square, serving as the sign's background. Within this stark frame, a white silhouette of the state of Minnesota takes center stage. Inside this distinctive state outline, the number "101" is boldly displayed in black, indicating the specific highway.
Above the highway number, the word "MINNESOTA" (or an abbreviated form) is often included, emphasizing the state's identity and location of the road.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design represents a significant moment in Minnesota's transportation history – the 1948 modernization of highway markers. The state outline signifies Minnesota itself, while the black background and contrasting white and black text give it a distinctive appearance, a visual marker of the state's roads.
The number "101" connects the design to a specific route, a connector between urban and rural areas. This design choice is a nod to a particular time period that brought a modernized look to the state's roadways.
