Texas 79 1917 (Texas) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt features a faithful representation of the original Texas State Highway 79 road sign as it would have appeared in 1917. The design captures the simplicity and historical significance of early Texas road signage.
Artwork and Visual Elements
The central element of the design is a black-on-white road marker. The shape is either a simple circle or rectangle, reflecting the common design conventions of the era. Prominently displayed within the shape is the number "79," representing Texas State Highway 79. The word "TEXAS" may accompany the number, adding further context.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design represents a significant piece of Texas history. It symbolizes the establishment of the Texas Highway Department and the early development of the state's road network. The stark black-and-white color scheme evokes a sense of historical authenticity, recalling the utilitarian aesthetic of signage from the 1910s and early 1920s. This design is a tribute to the roots of Texas's transportation infrastructure and a nod to the era before the iconic Texas-outline shield.
