Old Texas 50 (Texas) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt showcases the evolution of a classic piece of Texas history: the road sign for State Highway 50. The design celebrates the visual identity of this once-significant route, now a short connector in Commerce, Texas.
1920s: The Texas Outline Shield
The design may feature the original 1920s road sign, the Texas-outline shield. This iconic emblem, with its white background and bold black silhouette of the Lone Star State, immediately roots the design in its Texan identity. The black number "50" nestled within the Texas outline, and the word "TEXAS" proudly displayed at the bottom, convey a sense of heritage and early automotive travel.
1930s-40s: Circle-in-Square Sign
Alternately, the shirt may adopt the later design, using the 1930s-40s circle-in-square sign. This version features a black square frame that encapsulates a white circle, in the circle is the bold number "50." Underneath the circle is the word "TEXAS." This is a timeless aesthetic of vintage Americana, evoking images of classic road trips and the evolution of transportation infrastructure.
Modern: Rectangular Sign
Or, you might find the current design, which is a rectangular Texas highway shield. The white rectangle displays the black number "50" in a central location. Beneath the number is the word "TEXAS." The minimalist aesthetic speaks to a sense of order and modernity, whilst still being linked to a rich history.
Each design option, whether the Texas-outline, the circle-in-square, or the rectangular highway shield, provides a visual snapshot of a bygone era, allowing wearers to celebrate the spirit of exploration, the evolution of Texas roads, and the enduring legacy of SH 50.
