PA-253 1948 (Pennsylvania) Road Sign T-Shirt - Design
This t-shirt features a striking design inspired by the historic PA-253 road sign from 1948, a visual nod to Pennsylvania's rich transportation history.
The Keystone State Symbol
The central element of the design is the iconic keystone shape, a bold representation of Pennsylvania's nickname, the "Keystone State." This design element firmly anchors the shirt's connection to the state and its heritage. The keystone itself symbolizes the state's pivotal role in American history and its geographical position.
Authentic Design Details

This includes the precise font style and the color palette adopted to match the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) standards of that time. The design focuses on replicating the look of an authentic historical road sign.
