OH-299 1960 (Ohio) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Details
This t-shirt showcases a classic piece of Ohio road history: the OH-299 State Route marker as it would have appeared around 1960. The design celebrates a now-decommissioned connector route, offering a nostalgic look back at Ohio's road sign aesthetics from the mid-20th century.
Artwork and Visual Elements
The central element of the design is the iconic silhouette of the state of Ohio rendered in crisp white. This familiar outline serves as the primary identifier, immediately establishing the sign's origin.
Inside the white outline, the number "299" is boldly displayed in black numerals. This number identifies the specific route - State Route 299 - that the sign originally marked, connecting the towns of Berlin Heights and Huron, Ohio.
The Ohio silhouette and numerals are set against a solid black square background, providing strong visual contrast that makes the state shape and number stand out. A thin white border frames the entire design, completing the look of the authentic road sign.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design represents a tangible piece of Ohio's past. The Ohio outline symbolizes the state itself, while the black-on-white numbering indicates its importance within the state's transportation network. It is a visual cue for where you are in the state.
The color combination itself, with its black and white elements, is not symbolic, but is merely a representation of the style and standards of road sign design during the mid-20th century.
