MN-202 1948 (Minnesota) Road Sign T-Shirt: Design Overview
This T-shirt showcases a piece of Minnesota's transportation history: the MN-202 state highway marker from approximately 1948. The design is a faithful reproduction of the road sign that once guided travelers across the state.
Visual Elements
The design features the classic rectangular shield shape, reminiscent of mid-20th-century American road signage. A clean white background provides the backdrop for the bold black details.
At the top, the word "MINNESOTA" arches elegantly, a declaration of the state's identity. Below, a horizontal black line cleanly divides the design, separating the state name from the route number.
Beneath the line, the number "202" is prominently displayed, rendered in a strong, easily legible font. This number signifies the specific highway route represented by the marker.
Meaning and Symbolism

The simplicity of the design, with its clean lines and bold contrasts, reflects the functional aesthetic of the era. It's a clear and direct communication of information, a hallmark of effective signage intended for drivers on the move.
