A Slice of History
This design isn't just about aesthetics; it's a visual journey back to the early days of America's interstate highway network.

Symbolism
The design serves as a symbol of the transition from older "auto trails" to a nationally coordinated system of roads, specifically in Minnesota. Wearing this graphic signals an appreciation for a pivotal time in American transportation, emphasizing an appreciation for the roads that connect us.
