PA-299 1948 (Pennsylvania) Road Sign T-Shirt Design
This t-shirt design pays homage to a piece of Pennsylvania's history: the short-lived PA-299, and the classic road sign style of 1948.
The Keystone Symbol
The design prominently features the iconic keystone shape, a symbol of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania itself. The keystone represents the state's status as the "keystone" of the original thirteen colonies and the foundation of the United States. It is a visual reminder of Pennsylvania's crucial role in American history.
The 1948 Road Sign Aesthetic
The artwork replicates the design standards adopted by Pennsylvania in 1948. The shield is a white keystone with “PENNA” at the top in bold, black block lettering. Below, the route number, "299," is also rendered in a clear, easy-to-read font. This style is instantly recognizable to collectors and enthusiasts of vintage road signs.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design blends history and nostalgia. It celebrates the legacy of Pennsylvania’s highway system and the era when these road signs were common throughout the state. It's a statement for those who appreciate classic design and the unique stories behind everyday objects.
