PA-79 1948 (Pennsylvania) Road Sign T-Shirt - Design
This t-shirt features a striking representation of a PA-79 highway sign from 1948. The design pays homage to a bygone era of Pennsylvania roadways, predating the Interstate system.
Artwork and Visual Elements
The central element of the design is the iconic keystone shield, the official emblem of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The keystone is rendered in its classic 1948 form: a white background framed by a bold black border. Centered within the keystone, the number "79" is prominently displayed in a stark black font.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design speaks to the history of road travel in Pennsylvania. The PA-79 designation represents a state highway route that existed before the advent of the Interstate system. It symbolizes the evolution of transportation infrastructure and the historical evolution of highway signage.
The 1948 design choice directly reflects a specific design era, allowing collectors and history enthusiasts to connect with a distinct visual style from the late 1930s through the early 1950s.
This is more than just a number; it’s a piece of Pennsylvania history, a visual tribute to the roads that came before, and a reminder of the state’s heritage.
