Texas 101-B (Texas) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
Historical Highway Tribute
This T-shirt design pays homage to a bygone era of Texas highway signage, specifically featuring the iconic Texas 101-B road sign. It's a visual tribute to a now-extinct system of spur and branch routes that once connected towns and provided alternate routes across the Lone Star State.
Artwork Options
The design offers two distinct historical sign representations:
Option 1: The Circle Era (1917–Early 1930s)
The design captures the original road sign style of the period. A prominent white circle, bordered by a bold black outline, frames the design. The word "TEXAS" archs above, while the highway designation "101-B" sits centered below in bold, black lettering. This style reflects the earliest days of state highway marking, representing the roots of Texas's road infrastructure.
Option 2: The Texas Shield Era (1935 Onward)
The design adopts the instantly recognizable Texas shield. The silhouette of the state, rendered in white, forms the backdrop. Within the outline, the words "TEXAS" and the "101-B" designation appear in black, bold lettering. This style represents a later evolution of highway signage, solidifying a uniquely Texan identity.
Symbolism and Meaning
Both design options evoke a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time in transportation history. The 101-B designation symbolizes a connection – a spur off the main route, linking communities and offering alternative pathways. Wearing this shirt is a statement of appreciation for Texas history, the enduring spirit of exploration, and the ever-evolving road system.
