This t-shirt showcases a classic piece of Pennsylvania road history, featuring the design of the PA-146 route marker as it appeared in 1948. The artwork pays homage to the distinctive “keystone” shield, a symbol instantly recognizable to those familiar with Pennsylvania's rich heritage.
Design Elements
The design centers on the keystone-shaped shield, a shape deeply rooted in Pennsylvania's identity as the "Keystone State." Within the keystone, the route number, "146," is prominently displayed.

The inclusion of the route number signifies the specific highway, Pennsylvania Route 146, while the vintage design style speaks to a specific era in road signage and transportation history. This design evokes nostalgia and celebrates the unique visual language of mid-20th century American roads.
