Old Texas 83 (Texas) Road Sign T-Shirt - Design
This t-shirt features a nostalgic representation of the Old Texas 83 road sign, a relic of Texas highway history. The design pays homage to the now-defunct Texas State Highway 83, offering a glimpse into a bygone era of Texas road signage.
Design Elements and Symbolism
The central element of the design is a faithful reproduction of the historical road sign. Depending on the version you prefer, the artwork will showcase one of two primary styles associated with SH 83:
- 1920s Design: A bold, black silhouette of the state of Texas set against a white background. Inside the outline, a prominent "83" is displayed, representing the highway number. The word "TEXAS" may be written across or beneath the outline, reinforcing the sign's geographic context. This design symbolizes the state's identity and pride in its highway system.
- 1930s-1940s Design: The artwork presents a black square containing a white circle. Within the circle, a bold black "83" dominates the view. Beneath the number, the word "TEXAS" is clearly printed. This style is emblematic of the most common signage drivers would have seen before the standardized rectangular design was adopted.
The design as a whole evokes a sense of history, nostalgia, and appreciation for the evolution of transportation infrastructure. It represents a connection to the past, reminding wearers of the legacy of Texas roads and the stories they hold.
