Texas 6-R (Texas) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt features a design paying homage to a piece of Texas history: the short-lived State Highway 6-R. The artwork captures the essence of this bygone route, showcasing two distinct styles of road signage that once graced the Texas landscape.
Vintage Style
The first design option channels the era of the initial state highway system, from 1917 to the early 1930s. It presents a classic visual: a stark white square. Within the square, the bold silhouette of Texas serves as the central element. Inside this outline of the Lone Star State, the designation "6-R" is prominently displayed, using a clear, impactful font. This signifies the specific branch of State Highway 6, emphasizing its connection to the larger network while highlighting its unique identity.
Modernized Style
The second design showcases the updated marker style that emerged around 1935. It continues to utilize a white square background. At the top, the word "TEXAS" is boldly printed in a stark, black font, representing the state's official presence. Beneath, the designation "6-R" is prominently displayed. The style mirrors that of modern road signage, signifying the route's importance.
Symbolism
Both designs evoke a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time in Texas' transportation history. The "6-R" road signs are symbols of connection, linking smaller communities to the larger network of trade and travel. They represent an early effort to provide accessible state highway service to rural areas, eventually replaced by a more flexible and robust system. The shirt itself, then, is a nod to a forgotten past, a reminder of the evolving nature of transportation, and the ongoing effort to unite and connect the diverse corners of the Lone Star State.
