Texas 7B (1917) Road Sign T-Shirt Design
This design pays homage to a piece of Texas history: the 1917 Texas Highway System. The artwork centers around a faithful recreation of the original road sign for Texas State Highway 7B.
The Iconic Silhouette
The design features the unmistakable silhouette of the state of Texas. This instantly recognizable shape served as the foundation for the original road signs, acting as a bold symbol of Texan identity and the statewide highway network.
“7B”: A Branch of the Network
Inside the iconic Texas outline, the numerals "7B" are prominently displayed. This designation represents a crucial part of the 1917 highway system. Highway 7B was a spur, or branch, of the main Highway 7, connecting Center, Texas, with the historic town of San Augustine. This lettering signifies a connection to a larger network and serves as a visual marker of direction and route.
Color and Contrast
The sign adheres to the original color scheme: the outline of Texas is rendered in black and the numbers "7B" appears in white. This classic contrast provides high visibility and makes the artwork stand out. The colors are inspired by the physical road signs of the time, often black silhouettes with stenciled white numerals.
A Tribute to Texas's Past
The overall design is more than just a road sign; it is a direct link to the state's transportation history. It celebrates the ingenuity and foresight of the engineers and planners who shaped Texas's early infrastructure and laid the groundwork for today's extensive highway system. This artwork carries historical meaning for Texans and anyone who admires Texas culture and nostalgia.
