PA-71 1948 (Pennsylvania) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt features a faithful reproduction of a classic piece of Americana: the 1948 Pennsylvania Route 71 road sign. The artwork is centered on the iconic keystone shape, a potent symbol of Pennsylvania itself, representing its nickname as "The Keystone State." The flat top, angled sides, and pointed bottom of the keystone instantly identify the state of origin.
The design adheres to the established color scheme of the era. A stark, black background provides a striking contrast to the white lettering and border. Dominating the center is the bold, easily readable number "71," signifying the specific highway route. Above the number, the abbreviation "PENNA" (for Pennsylvania), is prominently displayed. The typography, with its thicker fonts, is characteristic of the 1940s road sign design, reflecting a period of increased standardization.
This design serves as a nostalgic tribute to the golden age of American road travel and a direct visual link to the historical PA-71 route. It captures the essence of mid-20th-century highway signage, offering a glimpse into a time when road travel was simpler, and state pride was prominently displayed on every mile marker.
