N-117 1926 (Nebraska) Road Sign T-Shirt Design
This design showcases a faithful recreation of the original 1926 Nebraska N-117 road sign. It's a striking visual tribute to Nebraska's early highway system, predating the widespread adoption of the U.S. Highway network.
Design Elements
At the heart of the design is the iconic shield, rendered in the characteristic style of the era. The primary focus is the bold display of "N-117" in crisp, legible lettering. The "N" signifies that this was a Nebraska state highway, while the number "117" uniquely identifies this particular route.
The color scheme evokes the simplicity and clarity of the original signage. Typically, the shield is presented in either white or yellow, with contrasting black lettering to ensure maximum visibility for motorists of the time. This design choice speaks to the importance of easily readable signage during an era of limited navigation technology.
Meaning and Symbolism
This design serves as a visual portal to a bygone era of American transportation. It represents the pioneering spirit of early road construction and the systematic organization of state highways. The N-117 sign symbolizes a connection between Nebraska towns and regional centers, facilitating travel and commerce before the establishment of a modern highway system.
Wearing this design is a statement of appreciation for history, design, and the evolving story of the open road.
