MN-49 1948 (Minnesota) Road Sign T-Shirt - Design
This t-shirt showcases the iconic MN-49 highway sign design from 1948, a significant milestone in Minnesota's road sign history. The artwork replicates the mid-century redesign that brought a distinctive visual identity to the state's roadways.
Visual Elements & Symbolism
The design features a stark black square, immediately capturing the eye. Centered within this bold background is a white silhouette of the state of Minnesota, providing an instantly recognizable emblem of the state.
Inside the white outline, the highway number "49" is boldly displayed in black digits. This prominent numeral signifies the specific route and its connection to a network of roads within the Twin Cities area, linking communities from Minneapolis to Anoka.
Above the number, the word "MINNESOTA" (or an abbreviated form) arches gracefully, clearly identifying the state and further solidifying the sign's geographic association. The design embodies the era's focus on clear, concise communication and a commitment to modernizing the state's transportation infrastructure.
The sign is a symbol of Minnesota's identity and its progressive approach to highway design, reflecting the pride and functionality that defined the state's roadways in the mid-20th century. The simple yet striking composition creates a piece of wearable history that celebrates a classic piece of Minnesota’s heritage.
