PA-191 1948 (Pennsylvania) (Road Sign) T-Shirt - Design Description
This t-shirt showcases a design that's a tribute to Pennsylvania's rich highway history. The central element is a representation of a PA-191 road sign, but with a specific historical context.
The 1948 Keystone Design
The design faithfully recreates the style of Pennsylvania route markers used starting in 1948. This is immediately evident through the use of the iconic "keystone" shape, which is the official symbol of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The keystone is a powerful symbol of strength and foundation, reflecting the state's heritage.
The keystone's design follows the standardized design of the era. The graphic style employs period-correct fonts that were part of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) standard adopted around that time. This attention to detail gives the design an authentic and nostalgic feel.
PA-191: A Later Designation
The "PA-191" designation itself highlights a specific Pennsylvania state highway. It's important to remember that the PA-191 designation only came into being in 1961. This design marries the keystone shape, which was in use since 1948, with the later-designated route number.
The design, therefore, represents a nostalgic blend. It takes the styling of an early road sign marker and applies it to a highway that would not have existed at that specific time. This juxtaposition is part of the design's unique charm.
