N-177 1950 (Nebraska) Road Sign T-Shirt Design
This t-shirt showcases a meticulously crafted visual recreation of the N-177 Nebraska state highway road sign, as it would have appeared in 1950. The design pays homage to the era of post-war highway improvements and the subsequent standardization of road signage across the state.
Design Elements
The design prominently features the shield, a key element of the 1950s Nebraska highway system. The number "177" is boldly displayed, signifying the specific route. Preceding the number is the letter "N," clearly indicating this is a Nebraska state highway, as opposed to a U.S. highway or a county road.
Color and Aesthetics
The color palette is consistent with the documented 1950s signage style, likely utilizing a combination of white or yellow background for the shield, with contrasting black lettering for optimal legibility. The font choices are period-accurate, reflecting the standardized fonts adopted for improved visibility and clarity on the roadways.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design is a direct representation of a specific point in Nebraska's transportation history. It symbolizes the modernization and streamlining of the state's highway system following World War II. The N-177 sign represents a vital route, connecting communities and facilitating travel across the state during a time of growth and change.
