Texas 71-E (Texas) (Road Sign) T-Shirt
Design Overview
This t-shirt features a vintage-inspired design that pays homage to the early Texas highway system. The artwork centers on a classic Texas state highway sign, representing a piece of Texan history.
Artwork and Visual Elements
The design faithfully recreates the iconic roadside shield used in Texas during the 1930s. The sign is square with a crisp, clean white background. A thin, black border frames the entire design, providing definition and structure.
At the top, the word "TEXAS" is boldly displayed in block letters. Below, a large, centered "71" signifies the highway number. The absence of an "E" on the physical sign is true to the historical context.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design represents a connection to the past. Specifically, it acknowledges the historical practice of using letter suffixes in Texas to designate spurs and alternate routes. The sign acts as a visual prompt into the era when the roads were being mapped, and it was a more personalized experience.
The design also acknowledges the silent "E". The design is a nod to the fact that while the "E" was vital in documentation for engineers and mapmakers, it wasn't immediately apparent to the driver. The design therefore highlights the intricate and sometimes obscure nature of historical highway systems.
