This t-shirt design showcases a faithful recreation of the N-48 Nebraska road sign as it would have appeared in 1950. The artwork pays homage to Nebraska's postwar highway system update, capturing a significant moment in the state's transportation history.
Visual Elements
The central element of the design is the iconic shield shape, a hallmark of road signage. The sign features a clean, simple aesthetic typical of the era. The bold, black numeral "48" is prominently displayed, signifying the specific route number. The letter "N" preceding the number clearly designates it as a Nebraska state highway, establishing the sign's geographic context.
Meaning and Symbolism

The 1950s redesign reflects a shift toward greater clarity and standardization in road signage, aiming to improve navigation for motorists. The N-48 sign is a direct link to a bygone era of road travel and the evolution of transportation in the American Midwest. The sign's presence evokes a sense of nostalgia for classic Americana and the open road.
