Texas 37 1917 (Texas) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
Historical Road Sign Design
This t-shirt features a faithful recreation of the original Texas State Highway 37 road sign from 1917. The design is a direct homage to Texas's first numbered highway system and the simple, yet impactful, road markers used during that era.
Visual Elements
The central element is a square, mirroring the shape of the original sign. This shape is filled with a stark white background, providing a clean canvas for the black lettering. Bold, black block lettering is used for the number "37" prominently displayed in the center. Above or below the number, the word "TEXAS" is printed in the same black font, cementing the sign's identity as a state highway marker.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design represents the beginnings of organized long-distance travel within Texas. The "TEXAS 37" road sign was a beacon for motorists navigating the state's nascent highway network. It symbolizes connection, indicating that the wearer appreciates Texas history and the evolution of transportation. The stark simplicity of the design reflects the era's utilitarian approach to road signage, reminding us of a time when the focus was solely on providing essential directional information.
