Texas 5D 1917 (Texas) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt showcases a historically significant design: the road sign for Texas State Highway 5D, as it appeared in 1917. The artwork is a faithful representation of the original highway marker, a piece of Texas transportation history.
Visual Elements
The central element of the design is the iconic silhouette of the state of Texas. Inside the state's outline, the bold letters "5D" are prominently displayed in a classic, easy-to-read font. The background of the design is a plain white square, a common characteristic of first-generation Texas highway markers, providing a clean and easily recognizable backdrop for the central icon.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design represents a specific time in Texas history, reflecting the early days of state-maintained roadways. The "5D" designation signifies a specific branch of State Highway 5, a vital artery of transportation in the early 20th century. The Texas outline itself is a symbol of state pride and a clear indicator of the highway's location.
For those familiar with Texas history and road systems, this design is a nod to a bygone era. It represents a connection between towns like Bonham, Honey Grove, and Paris, signifying a simpler time in road travel and early state planning.
