PA-535 1926 (Pennsylvania) Road Sign T-Shirt - Design Description
This t-shirt features a faithful reproduction of the original Pennsylvania Route 535 (PA-535) road sign design from 1926. The artwork centers around a white keystone-shaped shield, a hallmark of Pennsylvania's state route signage from the late 1920s through the 1940s.
Key Design Elements and Symbolism
The design's most prominent element is the number "535," displayed in a clear, bold font within the keystone. This number signifies the specific state route, PA-535, that once traversed parts of central Pennsylvania.
The keystone shape itself is deeply symbolic. It directly references Pennsylvania's nickname, the "Keystone State," a term highlighting the state's central importance and historical role, much like a keystone supports an arch. The sign's design is a clear visual identifier, allowing drivers of the era to instantly recognize the road as a Pennsylvania state highway.
The design is a celebration of early standardized road signage, which was a critical development in making travel and navigation easier for the growing number of automobile users. This shirt design pays homage to this historical significance and the early days of road travel.
