PR Old 143 (Puerto Rico) Road Sign T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt features a design inspired by the classic road signage of Puerto Rico Highway 143, commonly referred to as PR-143. The central element is the iconic "PR old 143" designation, presented in a vintage-style, retro shield format.
Artwork & Visual Elements
The artwork faithfully recreates the look and feel of a bygone era in Puerto Rico’s road signage. The shield shape, common in older road signs, provides a familiar and nostalgic visual. The fonts and color palette used in the design are intentionally chosen to evoke the aesthetic of mid-century highway signs, creating a strong sense of nostalgia.
Meaning and Symbolism

The "old" in "PR old 143" refers to a vintage-style sign, paying homage to the original road signage style and the history of the highway. It symbolizes a connection to the island's history, the beauty of its landscapes, and the spirit of adventure associated with exploring its mountain roads and the Toro Negro State Forest.
