Texas 3E 1917 (Texas) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Overview
This t-shirt features a striking design inspired by a piece of Texas history: the 1917 Texas Highway 3E road sign.
The Emblem of the Past
At the heart of the design is the iconic silhouette of the state of Texas. This instantly recognizable shape serves as the central visual element, grounding the design in its Texan roots.
Route to History
Within the Texas outline, the route designation "3E" is prominently displayed. This numerical and alphabetical combination is not just a label; it's a window to the past. It represents the Houston to Liberty to Cleveland branch of the original State Highway 3 network, offering a glimpse into early 20th-century transportation and the expansion of the Texas highway system.
Colors of Simplicity
The design utilizes a classic color scheme. The stark white background of the original road sign is reflected by using a lighter color for the shirt. The black outline of the Texas shape and the black “3E” create a visually striking contrast. This simplicity and contrast of colors is a direct tribute to the original road signs of the era, conveying a sense of authenticity and historical accuracy.
A Symbol of Exploration
This design serves as a silent nod to those early travelers of Texas. Wearing this t-shirt is a way to celebrate Texas's past while marking one of the state's earliest roadway systems and branches.
