Texas 128 1917 (Texas) Road Sign T-Shirt Design
A Tribute to Texas Road History
This design pays homage to the dawn of organized road travel in the Lone Star State, specifically the original 1917 Texas highway system. The artwork prominently features the historical road sign for State Highway 128 (SH 128), a key route in this pioneering network.
The Iconic Shield
At the heart of the design is a faithful reproduction of the early Texas highway shield. The shield's shape, which may be rectangular or circular depending on the batch, is a nod to the era's evolving signage. The bold "128" proudly displays the highway's designation. The color scheme, whether black numbers on a white background or white numbers on black, as was common at the time, is carefully recreated.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design represents a significant milestone in Texas history: the establishment of the first statewide numbered highway system. It symbolizes the spirit of early automobile travel, the ambition to connect towns and regions, and the beginning of a modern transportation infrastructure. Displaying the "128" number conveys connection between regions and a historic approach to travel.
