NC 181 (North Carolina) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
The Iconic State Route Marker

Color and Form
The design adheres to the established color scheme: a stark black number "181" is centered within a white square. A bold black outline defines the boundaries of the marker, giving it a clear, defined shape, often slightly rounded for a more approachable aesthetic. This simple, yet effective contrast ensures high visibility and easy recognition, even at a distance.

Wearing this design is a nod to those who have traveled along this path, connecting to the natural beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains and access to the New River area. The sign's presence evokes a sense of nostalgia, travel, and the open road, calling to mind the experiences and memories created along NC 181.
