Texas 116 1917 (Texas) (Road Sign) T-Shirt Design
This t-shirt design showcases a piece of Texas history, celebrating the early days of the state's highway system.
Artwork & Visual Elements
The artwork faithfully recreates the road sign for Texas State Highway 116 as it would have appeared in 1917. The design is simple and direct, adhering to the utilitarian style of the era. A stark white square or rectangle forms the background, providing a clean canvas for the text.
At the top, the word "TEXAS" is rendered in bold, black lettering, proudly proclaiming the state's identity. Below, the number "116" is displayed in large, block numerals, also in black. This font choice reflects the hand-painted nature of the original signs.
Meaning & Symbolism
The design represents the birth of organized road travel in Texas. It symbolizes a time of pioneering spirit and the initial efforts to connect the state through a network of highways. The clean, unadorned aesthetic speaks to the practicality and function-first approach of the early 20th century.
This t-shirt design is a nostalgic nod to a bygone era, allowing wearers to display their appreciation for Texas history and the evolution of transportation in the Lone Star State.
