PA-79 (Pennsylvania) Road Sign T-Shirt Design
This design pays homage to a lost piece of Pennsylvania's highway history: Pennsylvania Route 79. The artwork recreates the iconic keystone-shaped road sign, a symbol instantly recognizable to those familiar with the state's transportation network. The design evokes a sense of nostalgia, representing a bygone era of state highway travel.
Design Elements
The shirt features a detailed rendition of the PA-79 road sign. The design accurately depicts the classic keystone shape, a key element of Pennsylvania's identity. The bold black border and the "PENNA" abbreviation at the top instantly communicate its historical origin. The prominent placement of the number "79" within the keystone showcases the specific route, signifying its significance within the early state highway system.
There is also a second version, reflecting a later era where the state spelled out “PENNSYLVANIA” and uses a more modern typeface. This detail shows a nuanced understanding of Pennsylvania's evolution.
Meaning and Symbolism
The PA-79 sign itself is a relic of the past, representing a route that has since been renumbered or absorbed into other roadways. The shirt design, therefore, becomes a symbol of history, memory, and the constant evolution of infrastructure. The keystone shape embodies Pennsylvania itself, tying the design directly to the state's identity and heritage. The black and white color scheme maintains authenticity of the time period.
Wearing this design is akin to wearing a piece of Pennsylvania's past, sparking conversation and offering a unique insight into the state's rich history of road building and transportation.
