Texas 60 1917 (Texas) Road Sign T-Shirt Design
This design pays homage to the very beginning of Texas's numbered highway system, specifically depicting the iconic road sign for Texas State Highway 60 as it appeared in 1917. The artwork is a faithful representation of the original hand-painted markers used to guide travelers across the nascent highway network.
Visual Elements & Design
The design adheres to the simple, functional aesthetic of the era. A plain white rectangular backdrop serves as the canvas, mirroring the original wooden sign's unadorned surface. Across the top, the word "TEXAS" is rendered in bold, block letters, a clear declaration of the state's ownership of the road. Below, the number "60" is prominently displayed in large, black numerals, serving as the identifier for the specific route.
The absence of any border, shield, or reflective elements reflects the raw practicality of the time. The design captures the essence of a bygone era in Texas history, when road signs were basic, straightforward, and essential guides for traversing the vast landscape.
Meaning & Symbolism
The design represents the birth of Texas's modern road system and the initial efforts to connect communities across the state. The simple design embodies a time of pioneering spirit and the gradual expansion of infrastructure. It symbolizes the historical significance of SH 60, offering access to coastal areas and fostering the development of inland farming communities.
The shirt design serves as a visual testament to the evolution of transportation in Texas and the enduring legacy of the state's roadways.
