Texas 3C 1917 (Texas) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt features a bold and iconic design that instantly transports you back to the early days of Texas highway travel. The artwork is a faithful recreation of the original 1917 Texas 3C road sign.
The Design
The centerpiece of the design is a stark white background, providing a clean canvas for the graphic. Superimposed on this is a solid black silhouette of the state of Texas, its familiar shape instantly recognizable.
Within the black outline of Texas, the route designation "3C" is prominently displayed. The simple, black lettering echoes the straightforward functionality of the original sign, designed for easy legibility even in the era of dirt roads and limited signage.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design represents a significant piece of Texas history: the Galveston branch of State Highway 3. The "3C" designation indicated that this route connected Houston to Galveston, traveling along the Texas Gulf Coast.
The shirt serves as a tribute to the early Texas highway system, a time of experimentation and growth in transportation. The shape of the state itself is a powerful symbol of Texan identity and pride, while the "3C" signifies a specific, historically important road.
Wearing this t-shirt is a statement, a nod to the past, and a celebration of Texas's rich road-building heritage.
