OH-5 (Ohio) Road Sign T-Shirt Design
A Journey Through Ohio Highway History
This t-shirt showcases the evolution of the Ohio State Route 5 road sign, offering a glimpse into the history of Ohio's roadways. The design reflects the changing visual language of the highway system over time.
Three Iconic Sign Styles
The design presents three key historical representations of the OH-5 road sign:
- 1912: The design begins with the earliest iteration, a simple white rectangle bearing a black outline of the state of Ohio with the number "5" inside. This signifies the inception of the numbered highway system in the state.
- 1920s-1950s: Next, we see the iconic cut-out Ohio outline shield. A black outline of the state with a white interior and a bold black "5" centered within. This represents a period of stylistic standardization and a recognizable identity for Ohio highways.
- 1960s-Present: The modern, square shield design is depicted here. A plain white square with a black border, showcasing a black "5" in the center, this design symbolizes the current and enduring presence of OH-5 on the Ohio landscape.
A Symbol of Connectivity and Time
The collection of sign designs embodies the historical significance of OH-5, a vital east-west route in northeastern Ohio. The shirt celebrates the route's long-standing connection between communities in Ohio and Pennsylvania, and acts as a visual timeline of the sign's evolution, celebrating Ohio's highway legacy.
