US 36 Kansas 1926 (Kansas) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Overview
This t-shirt features a bold and iconic design that pays homage to the historical significance of U.S. Route 36 in Kansas. The artwork centers around the original highway marker used when the U.S. Numbered Highway System was established in 1926.
Artwork: The Shield of the Open Road
The core visual element is the distinctive shield-shaped road sign. Within the shield, the prominent text "US 36" is displayed. This classic lettering, a direct representation of the early highway signage, embodies the spirit of early automobile travel and the establishment of a national road network.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design represents a significant piece of American transportation history. The "US 36" road sign signifies the "Main Street of America" as it traversed Kansas in the nascent years of the U.S. Highway System. The sign's presentation is a direct link to the Manual and Specifications for the Manufacture, Display, and Erection of U.S. Standard Route Markers and Signs from 1927. Wearing this design expresses a respect for history and a nostalgic appreciation of the open road.
