SC-12 1926 (South Carolina) Road Sign T-Shirt - Design Description
This t-shirt features a faithful reproduction of the iconic "SC-12 1926" road sign, a celebrated piece of South Carolina's transportation history. The artwork pays homage to the original signage used by the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) in the early days of its state highway system.
Visual Elements
The design prominently displays a white square. Within that square, a bold black outline of the state of South Carolina takes center stage. Superimposed over this state silhouette is the number "12," rendered in a classic, bold font, and centered perfectly to ensure maximum legibility.
Meaning and Symbolism
The "SC-12 1926" design is rich with historical significance. The "SC" stands for South Carolina, immediately connecting the artwork to the Palmetto State. The "12" represents a specific state highway route, a designated path through the landscape. The inclusion of the "1926" denotes the era in which this distinct sign design was used. It symbolizes the genesis of the state's official highway system and represents a time of early road development and the formation of a statewide transportation network.
