Secondary Tennessee 173 (Tennessee) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt features the iconic road sign for Secondary Tennessee Route 173 (SR 173). The design precisely replicates the official signage found along the 24.4-mile stretch of road connecting Lamar and Erwin in northeastern Tennessee.
Artwork and Visual Elements
The artwork centers around a rectangular design with a stark white background. A thin black outline cleanly defines the perimeter. The top line displays "SEC" in bold, capital letters, mirroring the standard designation for a secondary state highway. Below, centered within the rectangle, are the bold black numbers "173", representing the route number itself. The entire design adheres to the straightforward, utilitarian style typical of road signage.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design immediately identifies SR 173. The shirt becomes a visual marker representing the road's existence and function as a rural connector. The presence of "SEC" signifies the secondary status of the route. For those familiar with the area, the shirt serves as a wearable connection to the scenic, mountainous landscapes and small communities served by SR 173, including Embreeville. It's a subtle yet clear representation of a specific geographical route.
