Texas 119 1917 (Texas) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt showcases a design inspired by the earliest days of Texas's state highway system. It directly references the original 1917 route markers used for Texas State Highway 119.
Artwork and Visual Elements
The core of the design is the number "119," rendered in a bold, classic font. It's presented in black, providing strong contrast against the background. The shape of the marker itself is a circle or a square, accurately reflecting the simple, utilitarian style of the original 1917 signage.
In some designs, the word "TEXAS" is included, placed either above or below the number "119". This text is rendered in a clean, easily readable font. The use of a simple geometric form and the clear, readable text directly mimics the original road sign style.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design serves as a tribute to Texas's rich history of road building and its early efforts at highway organization. The inclusion of "119" represents a specific, planned route that helped connect communities in South Texas.
The stark simplicity of the design, with its black and white color scheme and unadorned typography, symbolizes the era's practicality and the basic nature of road infrastructure at the time. It's a visual reminder of the evolution of the Texas highway system, offering a look back at the origins of Texas’s modern road network.
