Old Texas 82 (Texas) (Road Sign) Hoodie Design
A Nod to Texas History on the Open Road
This hoodie design celebrates the rich history of Texas roadways, specifically the iconic State Highway 82 (SH 82). The artwork prominently features the historical signage used for SH 82 before the modern era, offering a glimpse into Texas's past.
Two Vintage Sign Styles: A Journey Through Time
The design showcases one of two vintage road sign styles. The first is the classic Texas-outline shield from the 1920s. This design features a white background with a black silhouette of the state, a bold "82" centered within, and often the word "TEXAS" incorporated. This sign represents the very first standardized highway markers in Texas, a symbol of the state's early embrace of the automobile age.
Alternatively, the design could feature the circle-in-square shield, prevalent from the 1930s to 1948. This style is instantly recognizable, with a black square encompassing a white circle. Inside the circle, the bold black number "82" is displayed, often accompanied by the word "TEXAS" underneath. This design reflects the evolution of highway signage, representing a period of standardized marking across the state.
Symbolism of the Road
Both sign styles symbolize the spirit of exploration and connection that Texas roadways provide. They embody the journey, the open road, and the enduring legacy of Texas's transportation infrastructure. Whether it's the Texas outline or the circle-in-square, each design encapsulates a unique chapter in the story of SH 82 and its contribution to the Lone Star State's history.
