New Mexico 6 (New Mexico) Road Sign T-Shirt - Design Description
This t-shirt features the iconic road sign for New Mexico State Road 6 (NM 6). The design directly replicates the official route marker used throughout New Mexico.
Artwork and Visual Elements
The central element is the Zia sun symbol, the iconic emblem from the New Mexico state flag. This circular symbol, featuring four groups of four rays extending outward, is rendered in its classic form, typically with the rays in red and the rest of the sun in white. The Zia sun is placed in a circular white field. This white circle is then enclosed by a black square border, completing the standard New Mexico route marker design.
The number "6" is prominently displayed in the center of the Zia-symbol-based shield. This signifies the specific highway being represented: New Mexico 6.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design represents New Mexico State Road 6. The Zia sun symbol is steeped in symbolism; it represents the four directions, the four seasons, the four times of day, and the four stages of life, all of which are central to the New Mexican way of life. By featuring the Zia symbol in this context, the design pays homage to both the state of New Mexico and the historic route. Because this road largely follows the historic U.S. Route 66, the design hints at the history and nostalgia of the iconic Route 66 experience through New Mexico.
