Old Texas 51 (Texas) Road Sign T-Shirt - Design
This t-shirt showcases the historical journey of the Old Texas State Highway 51 through its evolving road sign designs. The design cleverly incorporates the three distinct sign styles used throughout the highway's lifespan.
A Timeline of Texas Road Sign History
The shirt features a chronological representation of the iconic signs. First, the design highlights the original 1920s Texas-outline shield. This design is dominated by a bold black silhouette of the state of Texas, symbolizing the highway's connection to the Lone Star State. Inside the state outline, the number "51" is prominently displayed, indicating the highway's designation. Beneath the state, the word "TEXAS" is elegantly inscribed, further solidifying its geographical context.
Next, the design progresses to the 1930s-40s era with the circle-in-square sign. This element offers a distinct contrast, presenting a black square encasing a white circle. The number "51" in black is centered within the circle, and the word "TEXAS" is positioned beneath, maintaining the connection to the state's identity.
Finally, the design concludes with the modern rectangular style, a stark contrast to the earlier designs. The white rectangle features the bold black number "51" above the word "TEXAS," representing the highway's later revival era before its final retirement. This element creates a visual timeline, encapsulating the evolution of Texas road sign design through the lens of a single, historic highway.
The overall artwork is a nostalgic tribute to Texas history and a celebration of the evolution of transportation and design over the decades.
