Texas 173 (Texas) (Road Sign) T-Shirt
Design Overview
This t-shirt features a bold and instantly recognizable design inspired by the road signs of Texas. The artwork centers around the number "173", a significant identifier in the Texas road system, presented in two distinct styles based on the type of road.
SH 173 Design
For the State Highway (SH 173) representation, the design incorporates a white number "173" displayed on the iconic Texas state highway shield. This shield is a familiar outline shape used on state routes, immediately signaling a major regional route maintained by TxDOT. The combination of the white number on the shield symbolizes the official designation of Texas State Highway 173, a route of considerable length connecting several towns.
FM 173 Design
The design for Farm to Market Road 173 (FM 173) presents a different visual cue. The "173" is presented within a black square with a white outline of Texas. This design indicates a rural roadway meant to connect agricultural areas to towns and larger highways, which is what FM 173 represents. The contrast of the black square and white Texas outline highlights the rural and agricultural focus of this type of road in Texas.
Symbolism
The presence of both design options allows for a symbolic representation of the Texas road system. The contrast between the State Highway and Farm to Market Road designs offers a visual exploration of how roads connect communities and the diversity of the Texas landscape.
