MN-95 1948 (Minnesota) Road Sign T-Shirt - Design Description
This t-shirt features a faithful reproduction of the iconic MN-95 road sign design from 1948, a pivotal moment in Minnesota's highway signage history. The design captures the spirit of mid-century modernization and the evolution of state identity.
The Artwork
The central element is a bold, black square, serving as the backdrop for the primary details. Within this frame, a crisp white silhouette of the state of Minnesota takes center stage, immediately identifying the location and purpose.
Symbolism and Meaning
The design's key feature is the highway number "95" prominently displayed within the white outline of Minnesota. This signifies the specific route and its connection to the state's transportation network. Above, the word "MINNESOTA" (or an abbreviation) may be presented, reinforcing the state's ownership and jurisdiction over the highway.
The black square and white outline design represent the shift from the plain, functional signs of the 1920s to a more visually appealing and distinctive style. It's a symbol of progress, standardization, and civic pride, encapsulating a period of expansion and modernization in the state. Wearing this design is a nod to a specific era and an appreciation of the enduring visual language of the open road.
