NC 21 (North Carolina) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt features a striking design that pays homage to the history of North Carolina's road system. At its core is the iconic NC 21 road sign, a visual emblem of a bygone era in state highway travel.
Artwork and Visual Elements
The artwork centers on a diamond-shaped sign, echoing the historical form factor of North Carolina's state highway markers. The sign is rendered in the classic color scheme of white with a bold black border and a prominent black "21" at the center. Above the number, the interwoven letters "N C" (or "NC"), clearly signal its origin in North Carolina.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design represents the former NC 21 highway, a primary route that once traversed the state. The presence of the diamond-shaped marker signifies a historical connection to the early days of North Carolina's road system, a tangible link to a time before the widespread presence of U.S. Highways and the Interstate system. The design embodies nostalgia for road trips and a love of history.
The design celebrates a legacy, it is a statement of appreciation for the evolution of infrastructure. The shirt is for individuals who appreciate the intricacies of mapping and appreciate state history.
