Oklahoma 17 (1924) Road Sign T-Shirt - Design
This t-shirt features a faithful recreation of the original 1924 Oklahoma State Highway 17 road sign. The design captures the essence of early 20th-century American road travel and Oklahoma's pioneering spirit.
Visual Elements
The artwork centers on a stark, minimalist design, just as the original sign would have appeared. The shape of the design is a square or a rectangle, echoing the standard form of the time. The background is rendered in a bright white or light color, providing a strong contrast for the core element.
A thin, crisp black border outlines the sign, providing definition and visual structure. Centered within this border is the prominent black number "17", rendered in a bold, easily legible font. This single number served as the crucial navigational tool for motorists traveling on State Highway 17.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design represents a significant piece of Oklahoma's history. The "17" signifies a key artery in Oklahoma's initial numbered highway system, symbolizing the state's early efforts to develop infrastructure and connect its communities.
By presenting a faithful reproduction of the original sign, the design celebrates the simplicity and functionality of early road signage. It’s a nostalgic nod to a time when travel was less about complex maps and more about a direct, straightforward approach to navigation.
The design, without any other embellishments, underscores the pure purpose of the sign: to direct travelers and define a path forward on a historic Oklahoma highway.
