New Mexico 31 1932 Road Sign T-Shirt Design
This t-shirt design pays homage to a bygone era of New Mexico highway travel. It prominently features a classic interpretation of the New Mexico road sign design from the early 1930s.
Iconic Zia Symbol
At the heart of the design is the iconic Zia sun symbol. Taken from the New Mexico state flag, this circular emblem represents the sun and is a powerful symbol of life, spirit, and harmony for the Zia Pueblo people, from whom it originated. The design on this shirt utilizes the smaller central circle and color scheme of the 1930s iteration of the sign, accurately depicting this period in New Mexico's history.
Historical Road Numbering
The number "31" is boldly displayed within the Zia symbol, signifying New Mexico State Road 31 (NM 31). This road holds historical significance, as its modern incarnation is a direct descendant of the original route established in the early 20th century. The inclusion of the route number grounds the design in the history of New Mexico’s road system.
Vintage Aesthetic
The design clearly evokes the aesthetic of vintage road signage. The choice of the yellow background with red and black details is consistent with the early 1930s-era road sign specifications. The "1932" text further reinforces this association, positioning the design as a nostalgic nod to classic highway markers.
This t-shirt design is a wearable celebration of New Mexico's heritage, seamlessly combining a symbol of state identity with a tribute to the state’s rich history of road travel.
