Secondary Tennessee 153 (Tennessee) (Road Sign) T-Shirt Design
This t-shirt showcases a piece of Tennessee road history: the former Secondary Tennessee Route 153 road sign. The design is a faithful recreation of the signage that once guided travelers on segments of what is now a major expressway around Chattanooga.
Visual Elements and Representation
The design features the classic appearance of the original secondary route sign. A white vertical rectangle serves as the background, enclosed by a thin, black outline, replicating the sign's simple, functional design. At the top of the sign, in bold, black capital letters, the abbreviation "SEC" is prominently displayed, denoting the secondary classification of the route.
Beneath "SEC," large, bold numerals "153" are rendered in the same black color. This is the crucial identifier, signifying the specific route number. The stark contrast of the black lettering against the white background ensures high visibility, a critical element in road signage. The overall design's simplicity and clean lines effectively communicate the history and evolution of this important Tennessee thoroughfare.
Meaning and Symbolism
The artwork represents a bygone era of Tennessee's road system. It symbolizes the transformation of a once secondary route into a vital primary highway. The design embodies the state's growth and development, reflecting the changing landscape of transportation and infrastructure over time. Wearing this design is a nod to nostalgia, a recognition of how roads and transportation systems are always evolving.
