This t-shirt showcases a vintage-inspired design that celebrates the historical South Dakota Highway 101 (SD 101) road sign from the 1960s. The artwork pays homage to the distinctive signage conventions of the era.
Design Elements
The central element of the design is the SD 101 route marker. It features the route number, "101," prominently displayed within the outline of the state of South Dakota. This reflects the standard design of state highway markers during the 1960s.
Symbolism and Meaning
