OH-176 1960 (Ohio) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt features the iconic road sign design of Ohio State Route 176 as it appeared in 1960. The artwork is a faithful representation of the original sign, adhering to the state's silhouette-style standard prevalent from the mid-1930s through the early 1970s.
Design Elements
The design is centered around a square, flat, white background, echoing the metal plate construction of the original sign. Dominating the design is a solid black silhouette of the state of Ohio, precisely rendered to match the state's outline. Inside the black silhouette, centered, is the route number "176" in bold black numerals.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design immediately identifies the specific Ohio state route. The black silhouette of Ohio serves as a strong visual identifier of the state itself, creating instant recognition for Ohioans and anyone familiar with the state's roadways. The bold numerals "176" within the state's outline designate the route, providing crucial directional information. This is a nostalgic representation of a bygone era in Ohio road signage, evoking a sense of mid-20th-century American highway travel.
