A Journey Through Texas Highway History
This t-shirt design celebrates the legacy of Old Texas Highway 89, a forgotten route that once traversed South Texas. The artwork focuses on the evolution of the road sign itself, offering a glimpse into Texas's rich highway history.
Sign Styles of Yesteryear
The design showcases the progression of road sign styles, reflecting the passage of time and the evolution of transportation infrastructure. It features three distinct sign variations:
- 1920s: Texas Outline Shield - This iconic design features a white outline of the State of Texas, with the number "89" displayed prominently within the outline. The word "TEXAS" is subtly placed below, completing the vintage look.
- 1930s-1940s: Circle-in-Square - The design transitions to a bold black square that frames a crisp white circle. Inside, the number "89" commands attention, and the word "TEXAS" sits below. This simple yet effective design captured the spirit of a bygone era.
- Late 1940s-1950s: Rectangular Marker - The final design is a classic white rectangle, bordered in black, which highlights the highway number. The bold "89" is positioned over the word "TEXAS", marking the last iteration of the sign before the highway was retired.
A Symbol of Texas Heritage
The design serves as a visual reminder of the state's pioneering spirit. It embodies a piece of Texas history, reminding us of a time when the open road was a symbol of freedom and discovery.
