New Mexico 18 1926 T-Shirt: Design
This t-shirt features a vintage-inspired road sign design, a nod to New Mexico's early highway history.
The Elements
The design prominently displays "New Mexico 18 1926," mirroring the style of original state highway markers from around 1926. The "18" signifies New Mexico State Road 18.
The design incorporates the iconic Zia symbol, the state's official emblem, positioned centrally within a circle. The Zia symbol is taken from the Native American Zia Pueblo, and represents the sun, its rays radiating outwards. In the original road signs the Zia circle was smaller in the early days.
Color Palette
The color scheme is designed in the style of original road markers, with a classic red-and-black-on-yellow palette, reminiscent of the early era of state road signage.
Symbolism & Historical Context
This design is more than just a graphic; it's a piece of history. It represents the time when New Mexico began standardizing its road numbering system. The inclusion of the Zia symbol, a symbol of heritage, showcases the importance of state pride in road signage.
