This t-shirt showcases a faithful recreation of the N-55 Nebraska road sign, a visual artifact from the state's highway system circa 1950. The design pays homage to the era when Nebraska's highway network was solidifying its standardized signage practices.
Design Elements
The core of the design is the road sign itself. Rendered with meticulous detail, it presents the established format of the time. A clean, rectangular shape provides the foundation. The background is a crisp white, offering maximum visibility against any background. The border and the text are rendered in bold black, adhering to the mid-century signage standards for legibility.

The number "55" denotes the specific route, a numbered artery that once connected communities and facilitated regional travel across the state.

This minimalist approach focuses on the route's essential identity, making it immediately recognizable and easily understood.
Historical Significance
