PA-79 1960 (Pennsylvania) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt showcases a classic piece of Pennsylvania history: a road sign from around 1960, specifically the "PA-79" state route sign. The design pays homage to a bygone era of road travel and highway design.
Artwork and Visual Elements
The central design element is a faithful recreation of a Pennsylvania state route sign from the late 1950s/early 1960s. The sign features the iconic keystone shape, the official state symbol of Pennsylvania. Within the keystone, the "PA" designation is prominently displayed, followed by the number "79." The font used reflects the transition towards the more modern FHWA style common at the time, offering a subtle nod to the era of automotive travel and roadside Americana.
The color palette likely consists of a combination of dark and light colors used to match the color palette of Pennsylvania's original route signage. These would be combined to make a highly visible sign.
Meaning and Symbolism
The "PA-79" sign represents a specific historic state route that existed in Pennsylvania. This design, therefore, symbolizes a connection to the state's past, particularly in terms of its infrastructure and transportation history. It evokes a sense of nostalgia for classic American road trips and the simple, functional designs of mid-century highway signage.
