Texas 86 1917 (Texas) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design
This t-shirt features a design inspired by a hypothetical Texas State Highway 86 road sign from 1917. The artwork evokes the era's simplicity and the nascent development of the state's highway system.
Artwork and Visual Elements
The central element is a representation of a road sign. The sign emulates the look of the early 1917 Texas highway markers: a plain white background, a bold black numeral, and the state name ("TEXAS") displayed above or around the number. The number "86" is prominently displayed, reflecting the highway designation. The design is deliberately rendered in a vintage style, capturing the feel of painted wood or metal signage of the time.
Meaning and Symbolism
This design is a tribute to the evolution of Texas's infrastructure and the history of its roadways. Though Highway 86 did not exist in 1917, the design playfully imagines its presence in the early years of the state's highway system. The design symbolizes the growth and progress of Texas, with a nod to a bygone era of simple, functional design.
