Texas 103 1917 (Texas) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
This T-shirt design faithfully recreates the road sign for Texas State Highway 103 as it appeared in 1917, during the dawn of Texas's official highway system.
Artwork and Visual Elements
The artwork centers around a classic circular road marker. The design adheres strictly to the 1917 specifications: a crisp, white circle with a thin black border. Bold, black sans-serif lettering dominates the design, using the original fonts of the time. "TEXAS" is proudly arched across the top, while the number "103" is centered in the space below.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design represents a significant piece of Texas history. It symbolizes the state's early efforts to establish a connected transportation network, a pivotal moment in the state's development. The black-on-white color scheme reflects the simplicity and practicality of early highway signage. The "103" represents the route itself: the vital east-west connection through the Piney Woods region, linking communities from Crockett to Milam on the border with Louisiana.
Wearing this design is a statement of appreciation for Texas history and the evolution of the state's infrastructure. It celebrates a bygone era of road travel and a commitment to progress.
