PA-228 1948 (Pennsylvania) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Details
This t-shirt features a striking design inspired by vintage Pennsylvania road signage, specifically the PA-228 route marker from 1948. The artwork is a faithful representation of a keystone-shaped shield, a symbol intrinsically linked to the state of Pennsylvania, also known as the "Keystone State."
The Keystone and Route Number
At the heart of the design is the white keystone, containing the black letters and numbers "PA-228," indicating Pennsylvania Route 228. This design is historically significant. The "1948" in the title signifies the era when Pennsylvania adopted a new, more readable font for its route markers. This modern font is prominent within the keystone, a nod to the sign's readability and accessibility.
Vintage Aesthetic
The design captures the essence of a vintage road sign, with a focus on simplicity and clarity. The color palette mirrors the authentic design, with a white backdrop and black lettering. The overall aesthetic is meant to evoke a sense of nostalgia, reminiscent of classic Americana and a bygone era of road travel.
