MN-88 (Minnesota) Road Sign T-Shirt - Design Description
This T-shirt showcases the iconic road sign for Minnesota State Highway 88, a familiar sight for drivers traversing the state's roadways. The design faithfully replicates the visual elements of the official highway marker, instantly recognizable to those familiar with Minnesota's road system.
Artwork and Visual Elements
The artwork centers around a shield-shaped sign, rendered in the characteristic colors of Minnesota state highway signage. A solid blue background provides the backdrop, punctuated by a prominent yellow banner across the top bearing the word "MINNESOTA" in a bold, sans-serif font. Within the blue field, the number "88" is displayed in crisp, white numerals, using a font specified in the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).
The design adheres to the standard specifications for Minnesota state highway markers. The careful selection of colors and fonts ensures an accurate representation of the sign, enabling instant recognition by viewers.
Meaning and Symbolism
The road sign design is instantly symbolic of Minnesota's highway system and the history of MN-88. It signifies a route that, at one point, was part of the state's officially maintained roadways. Even though the state-designated status of MN-88 ended around 1996, the sign's continued presence suggests it was once a state maintained route, now either repurposed, renumbered, or under local control. The design also represents a part of the history of transportation infrastructure within the state of Minnesota.
The design serves as a nostalgic reminder of Minnesota's transportation infrastructure, the familiar routes, and a connection to the state's network of highways.
