PA-102 1948 (Pennsylvania) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt showcases a classic piece of Pennsylvania history: the vintage PA-102 road sign from the year 1948. The design is a faithful representation of the original highway marker, capturing its iconic features.
Design Elements
The artwork centers around a keystone shape, a direct reference to Pennsylvania's nickname, "The Keystone State." This key feature instantly identifies the state and adds a layer of symbolism, representing the state's foundational role. Within the keystone, the design features the route number “102” rendered in a bold, block-style font, true to the era's design standards.
Above the route number, the abbreviation "Penna" (instead of the modern "PA") is displayed, further authenticating the vintage feel. This is a nod to how the route signs were designed in that period.
Symbolism and Meaning
The design speaks to a specific moment in time—the mid-20th century, when road signage was undergoing a significant evolution. The use of the keystone shape and the “Penna” abbreviation instantly evokes a sense of nostalgia for classic Americana. By wearing this t-shirt, you're embracing the heritage of Pennsylvania and celebrating a distinctive design that's both visually striking and historically significant.
