PA-176 1962 (Pennsylvania) Road Sign T-Shirt - Design
This t-shirt features a design inspired by the historical road signs associated with the Morgantown Expressway in Pennsylvania during its early years. The central element is a representation of a road sign, specifically evoking the era of 1962, the year the freeway first opened.
The Road Sign: I-180 (Initially)
The artwork likely captures the essence of the original signage. While the freeway is now known as I-176, in 1962, when the road was initially opened, it was signed as Interstate 180 (I-180). This design might showcase the Interstate shield, including its distinctive font, and the highway number. The choice of font style would reflect the signage prevalent in the early 1960s, reflecting the era of interstate expansion.
Color Scheme and Symbolism
The color scheme would be crucial to authenticity. Interstate signs traditionally feature a specific palette, likely including a blue background with white lettering and border. The overall appearance would convey the sense of travel, movement, and the infrastructure of the American highway system.
Historical Context and Meaning
The “1962” element of the design is key. This date serves as a nod to the Morgantown Expressway’s opening and its initial numbering. The design is a tribute to the history of Pennsylvania's road system, allowing wearers to display their appreciation for a specific moment in time when a major artery was first opened for the drivers of PA.
