New Mexico 159 (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Overview
The design of this t-shirt centers on the iconic road sign for New Mexico State Road 159 (NM 159). The graphic is a direct representation of the route marker used throughout New Mexico.
The Route Marker: A Symbol of the Southwest
The central element of the design is a white circle, which is the standard shape for a New Mexico state highway route marker. Inside the circle, the prominent feature is a red Zia symbol.
Zia Symbolism
The Zia symbol is a vital part of the design, representing the state of New Mexico. This ancient symbol, originating from the Zia Pueblo people, is a stylized sun, featuring four groups of four rays extending from a central circle. The number four is significant, representing the sacred aspects of life: the four points of the compass, the four seasons of the year, the four stages of life, and the four times of day. The red color of the Zia symbolizes the warmth of the sun and the spirit of New Mexico.
A Tribute to the Open Road
This design serves as a visual homage to the rugged beauty of the New Mexico landscape and the open road. The inclusion of the highway number 159 clearly identifies the specific road, inviting a sense of place and adventure.
