MO-102 1926 (Missouri) Road Sign T-Shirt Design
This t-shirt features a faithful reproduction of the iconic "MO-102 (1926)" Missouri state highway marker. The design pays homage to the early days of state highway signage, specifically the era of the mid-1920s.
Design Elements & Representation
The central element of the design is the oval-shaped shield, a hallmark of Missouri highway markers from 1922 to 1931. The shield's color scheme is historically accurate, utilizing an orange background with bold, black lettering. The abbreviation "MO" prominently displays "Missouri," and the number "102" denotes the state route number.
The inclusion of "(1926)" beneath the route number signifies the style of the sign, representing a pivotal time in highway signage. This year saw the adoption of the U.S. Numbered Highway System, which prompted states like Missouri to adapt their numbering and signage.
Meaning & Symbolism
This design serves as a nostalgic tribute to early highway travel and the evolution of road systems. It represents a connection to the past, reminding us of the era of cast-iron markers and simpler times. The design appeals to collectors, history enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates the aesthetic of vintage Americana and the evolution of road travel.
The design does not represent the exact route number in 1926, which may have been different from the current route numbering system.
