PA-166 1948 Road Sign T-Shirt Design
This design pays homage to a piece of Pennsylvania's transportation history: the 1948 Pennsylvania road sign for Route 166. The artwork captures the essence of a classic highway marker, instantly recognizable to those who appreciate vintage style and the history of road travel.
Iconic Keystone Shield
At the heart of the design is the silhouette of a keystone, a stylized wedge shape that forms the state route shield. This shape is a direct reference to Pennsylvania's nickname, "The Keystone State," symbolizing the state's central and fundamental role.
Route Identification
Nestled within the keystone is the route identifier: "PA 166". The "PA" signifies a Pennsylvania state highway maintained by PennDOT, while "166" indicates the specific route number. The numerals are presented in a clear, block-style font, a standard of the time for optimal readability.
Vintage Appeal
The design evokes a sense of nostalgia, transporting the viewer back to the era when these iconic signs marked the roads of Pennsylvania. This vintage aesthetic appeals to collectors and anyone who appreciates the enduring style of classic American road signage.
