Old Texas 53 (Texas) Road Sign T-Shirt Design
This t-shirt design celebrates the history of Texas roadways, specifically the now-defunct Texas State Highway 53 (SH 53). The artwork presents the iconic road sign imagery from the early days of Texas highway travel.
1920s Texas-Outline Shield Design
The primary design showcases the classic 1920s Texas-outline shield. A bold black silhouette of the state of Texas dominates the center, set against a pristine white background. The large number "53" is prominently displayed within the outline, representing the specific highway. The word "TEXAS" is elegantly positioned along the bottom of the state outline, identifying the entity responsible for the highway.
1930s-40s Circle-in-Square Design (Secondary)
The design may also incorporate the later, though still vintage, 1930s-1940s style circle-in-square shield, demonstrating the evolution of the road sign through its history. This features a square black sign with a white circle set within it. The number "53" is printed in bold black numerals within the circle. Beneath the circle, the word "TEXAS" is printed, further identifying the state and highway number.
A Tribute to Texas Highway History
This design serves as a nostalgic tribute, reminding us of a bygone era in Texas road travel. It represents the state's commitment to building and maintaining its highway system, and its visual history. The use of vintage sign elements conveys history and pride in Texas's heritage.
