New Mexico 19 1926 Road Sign T-Shirt: Design Details
This t-shirt showcases a design inspired by the early days of New Mexico's highway system, specifically referencing the era when the state formalized its numbered route system in 1926. The artwork is a visual tribute to the historical road signs that once guided travelers across the state.
A Nod to the Past
At the heart of the design is the iconic Zia sun symbol, prominently displayed as the central element. The Zia, a revered symbol from the New Mexico flag, is circular, featuring rays that point in four directions. The design includes a smaller central circle within the larger sun symbol.
Color and Construction
The color scheme evokes the authentic look of the time, utilizing a classic red and black on a vibrant yellow background, reminiscent of the embossed steel signs of that era. This color palette and the overall style pay homage to the original state route markers from the late 1920s, offering a glimpse into the state's rich history.
Symbolic Representation
The inclusion of "19" signifies New Mexico State Road 19, a highway that, while the designation may have shifted over time, represents a connection to the state's road network. The "1926" acts as a date representing the time period when the highway system was formalized.
