Texas 19 1917 (Texas) (Road Sign) Hoodie Design
The design of this hoodie pays homage to the historical significance of Texas State Highway 19 (SH 19), specifically referencing its original designation in 1917. The artwork centers on a representation of what a 1917 road sign could have looked like, based on the earliest sign practices.
Artwork and Visual Elements
The central graphic is a hypothetical rendition of a Texas road sign, adhering to the style of the mid-1920s. The core design element is the iconic outline of the state of Texas. Inside this outline, the number "19" is prominently displayed, denoting State Highway 19. The word "TEXAS" is positioned above the state outline, clearly identifying the state and the highway's origin.
Meaning and Symbolism
This design symbolizes the beginning of Texas's organized highway system. It represents the historical milestone of June 21, 1917, when SH 19, among the first 26 numbered highways, was officially established. While no physical sign existed in 1917, the artwork provides a window into what a contemporary sign might have looked like, capturing the spirit of the era and the pioneering effort to connect Texas through a state-wide road system.
The use of the Texas outline is inherently symbolic of the state itself, while the number "19" signifies a specific route, fostering a sense of place and historical connectedness.
