Old Texas 81 (Texas) Road Sign T-Shirt - Design
This t-shirt features a design inspired by the historic road signs of Texas State Highway 81 (SH 81). The artwork evokes a sense of Texas history and the evolution of road signage.
Sign Options
The design may represent one of two historic sign styles:
1920s Texas-Outline Design
The first option presents the sign style used when SH 81 was initially designated. This design includes a white background and a black silhouette of the state of Texas. Bold black numbers "81" would be centrally placed within the Texas outline, accompanied by the word "TEXAS" either inside or below the outline. This design reflects Texas pride and highlights the geographical area served by the highway.
1930s-1940s Circle-in-Square Design
Alternatively, the design could feature the standard Texas highway shield prevalent before 1948. This design features a black square with a white circle centered within it. Bold black numbers "81" are placed inside the circle, with the word "TEXAS" positioned beneath the number. This design signifies the official designation of SH 81 as part of the state's highway system.
Symbolism and Meaning
Both design options pay homage to a bygone era of Texas road travel. The Texas outline design is an iconic symbol of the state's identity. The circle-in-square design represents the official standardization of the state's highway network. Both are nostalgic reminders of the historical routes that once served Texas travelers.
