This t-shirt features a faithful reproduction of the 1948-era Minnesota State Highway 90 road sign. The design is a snapshot of Minnesota's transportation history, offering a glimpse into the state's road-marking practices from the late 1940s.
Visual Elements and Meaning
The artwork showcases the classic square (or near-square) shield design common to many 1948 Minnesota state route markers. At the top, the word "MINNESOTA" is prominently displayed, signifying the state's authority over the route. A horizontal dividing line separates the state name from the route number below.
The core of the design is the bold "90," representing the assigned route number within the Minnesota Trunk Highway system. This number served as a navigational aid, informing travelers of the specific state highway they were traversing.
Historical Significance
The design's significance lies in its historical context. The 1948 shield style reflects a standardized approach to route markers, representing a specific period in Minnesota's transportation development. It serves as a visual reminder of how road signage evolved over time.
