OH-175 1927 (Ohio) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt features a faithful reproduction of the original OH-175 road sign design as it appeared in 1927, offering a glimpse into Ohio's early highway marking system. The design is a bold statement of history and a celebration of early 20th-century road travel.
Visual Elements
The design adheres to the straightforward style of the 1920s: a simple white square, acting as the canvas. Dominating the top of the sign is the word "OHIO," rendered in thick, authoritative black block letters. This immediately identifies the state the route belongs to.
A thin, horizontal black line elegantly separates the state identifier from the route number. Positioned directly beneath this line is the number "175," displayed in large, clear black numerals. This is the primary informational component, providing the route designation.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design represents a specific point in time: the dawn of modern road travel and the expansion of suburban development in Ohio. The stark contrast of the white background and black lettering ensures readability, a functional necessity of road signs.
The absence of any state outline or graphic embellishment, as was typical of this era, emphasizes the practicality of information. This sign design symbolizes the directness of early infrastructure development and a focus on essential information.
More than just a road marker, this sign on a t-shirt becomes a wearable piece of history. It embodies the growth of the state and the evolution of transportation, telling a story of Ohio's past through the simple, yet impactful, language of design.
