New Mexico 136 1932 Road Sign T-Shirt: Design Overview
This t-shirt features a captivating design inspired by the vintage road signs of New Mexico, specifically from the 1930s. The artwork centers around a retro aesthetic, evoking a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era of highway travel.
Iconic Elements and Symbolism
The core visual element is the iconic Zia sun symbol, a powerful emblem deeply rooted in New Mexico's heritage. The Zia symbol, taken from the Zia Pueblo, features a circular form with four groups of four rays, each representing cardinal directions, the seasons, the stages of life, and other fundamental aspects of existence. The sun symbol, rendered in its classic red rays against a yellow background, stands out boldly.
The "136" likely refers to a state highway, and the "1932" is specifically included to denote the historical period when New Mexico road signs used the Zia symbol. This indicates a retro design, not a highway that existed in 1932.
A Nod to Vintage Aesthetics
The color scheme of red on yellow, is a classic combination reminiscent of the vintage road signs of the era. The design embraces a vintage aesthetic. This graphic on the shirt is a decorative nod to the road signs of the period. This t-shirt design is a celebration of the state’s heritage and a tribute to the aesthetics of early highway travel.
