Texas 112 1917 (Texas) (Road Sign) T-Shirt Design
This t-shirt design evokes a sense of historical curiosity and subtle rebellion against expectations. The centerpiece is a bold, square road sign graphic, instantly recognizable as a Texas State Highway marker.
The Absence of Reality
The design plays on historical inaccuracy. The "Texas 112" designation didn't exist in 1917, when Texas highway numbering only went up to 43. This juxtaposition of a modern highway number with an intentionally archaic design creates a thought-provoking visual.
Visual Elements & Symbolism
The artwork strives for historical authenticity with its minimalist aesthetic, mirroring the crude, hand-painted road signs of the era. The white background and stark black number are a direct nod to the square, sheet metal signs used in 1917. This simplicity is its strength, conveying a sense of the past and the evolution of transportation infrastructure.
The absence of the "TEXAS" text, a feature of later highway markers, further reinforces the 1917 aesthetic. The design is a playful exploration of what "could have been," challenging the viewer to consider how history is remembered and reinterpreted.
