MN-240 1948 (Minnesota) Road Sign T-Shirt - Design
This t-shirt features a striking design inspired by the 1948 MN-240 road sign, a relic of Minnesota's mid-century highway modernization.
Artwork & Visual Elements
The central element of the design is the iconic silhouette of the state of Minnesota, rendered in crisp white. Within the state's borders, the highway number "240" is boldly displayed in black, providing immediate recognition of the route.
Above the number, the word "MINNESOTA" (or "MINN") is typically featured, depending on the scale of the design. This reinforces the sign's geographic identity and the state's commitment to clear and consistent highway signage.
The entire design is set against a solid black background, creating a strong contrast that ensures the white silhouette and black text are highly visible. This color scheme mirrors the original sign's aesthetic.
Meaning & Symbolism
The design represents a significant moment in Minnesota's history of highway infrastructure. The 1948 redesign symbolized progress and a commitment to modernizing the state's roadways. The state outline itself is a powerful symbol of place and identity, instantly connecting the wearer to the state of Minnesota.
The inclusion of the highway number, "240," specifically evokes a sense of connectivity, referencing a connector route linking communities and regional roads. The design offers a tangible link to Minnesota's transportation heritage and a nostalgic nod to mid-century road travel.
