US 60 Kentucky 1926 (Road Sign) T-Shirt - Design
This design showcases a piece of American road history: the original road sign for U.S. Route 60 in Kentucky, as it appeared in 1926.
The Iconic Shield
The central element is a faithful reproduction of the "U.S. Route shield" from the early days of the U.S. Highway System. It features the classic black and white design mandated in 1926, which are simple shield shapes with the letters "U.S." at the top and the route number, "60," prominently displayed within the shield.
"Kentucky" and Legacy
Above the central shield, and integral to the 1926 design, the word "Kentucky" is featured to show where the road sign was used. This provides a clear indication of the route's specific location, highlighting its place within the broader national highway network.
Meaning and Symbolism
This design is more than just a graphic; it's a symbol of the beginning of modern American road travel. The US 60 sign represents a crucial moment in the establishment of a nationwide highway system that connected the country. It is a visual representation of the planning and growth of the country’s infrastructure that shaped how Americans traveled for decades to come. The sign's presence on this shirt evokes a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time on the open road and stands as a piece of American history.
