PA-388 1948 (Pennsylvania) Road Sign T-Shirt: Design Overview
This t-shirt features a design inspired by the classic "PA-388" road sign, specifically referencing the 1948 era of Pennsylvania highway signage.
The Keystone State Symbol
At the heart of the design is the iconic keystone shape. This shape symbolizes the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, earning it the nickname "The Keystone State." The keystone is a prominent visual element, immediately associating the design with Pennsylvania and its roadways.
Vintage Route Marker
Inside the keystone, the design prominently displays "388." This numerical designation identifies Pennsylvania Route 388, a specific state highway located in western Pennsylvania.
