NC 10 1945 (North Carolina) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt features a bold and instantly recognizable design: a graphic reproduction of the North Carolina Highway 10 route marker, as it appeared in 1945. The artwork centers around the classic, diamond-shaped shield, a hallmark of North Carolina's "primary" numbered state highways.
A Slice of History
The design’s most prominent element is "NC 10", boldly displayed within the shield. This designation represents North Carolina Highway 10, one of the original state routes established in 1921. The "1945" signifies the era of the sign's design; this particular shield style was commonly used around the mid-20th century, representing a specific period in North Carolina's transportation history.
Symbolism and Meaning
The sign evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era of American road travel. It symbolizes the historical importance of NC 10 as a major east-west corridor, once known as the "Central Highway." This graphic is a tribute to the route’s legacy, its past existence on state road maps and its eventual evolution. Wearing this design is a nod to transportation history.
