Old Texas 88 (Texas) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description

A Journey Through Texas Highway History

This t-shirt design celebrates the legacy of Old Texas Highway 88, a forgotten route that once traversed the Texas Panhandle. The artwork encapsulates the evolution of Texas road sign design, offering a visual journey through the history of the Lone Star State's highways.

Three Iconic Road Sign Designs

The design features three distinct renditions of the "88" highway marker, representing the chronological progression of the sign styles used on SH 88:

  • 1920s: The earliest sign, a white outline of Texas, with the number "88" prominently displayed within and "TEXAS" lettering below. This sign symbolizes the beginning of Texas's organized highway system.
  • 1930s-1940s: The circle-in-square design, a black square framing a white circle with a bold "88" and "TEXAS" below. This design echoes the standardized signage of the era.
  • Post-1948: The rectangular marker with the bold "88" and "TEXAS" lettering, representing the final iteration of the SH 88 sign before its decommissioning.

Symbolism of the Design

The placement of these historical markers together pays homage to a bygone era of Texas highway travel. It's a reminder of a time when the open road held a special allure, and the highway sign was a beacon of direction and identity. The design is a tribute to the evolution of transportation infrastructure and a nod to the historical significance of the Texas Panhandle's role in the state's development.
