Design Overview
This t-shirt showcases a classic piece of New Mexico history: the design of a 1952-era New Mexico State Road sign for NM 9. The artwork faithfully recreates the iconic look of these vintage road markers.
Key Visual Elements
The design centers around the bold black number "9", representing New Mexico State Road 9. This number is prominently displayed within a red Zia sun symbol.
The Zia symbol is set against a white or light-colored background. This color scheme, common in the 1950s, enhances readability.
Meaning and Symbolism
The Zia sun symbol is the heart of the design, a powerful emblem deeply rooted in New Mexico's cultural heritage. Representing the Zia Pueblo people, the symbol embodies numerous sacred concepts, including the four directions, seasons, times of day, and phases of life.
The design is a nostalgic nod to a bygone era of road signage and New Mexico's rich past, offering a visual connection to the state's identity and history.
