US 90 Louisiana 1948 Road Sign T-Shirt Design
This t-shirt features a striking piece of highway history: the design of a U.S. Route 90 road sign as it would have appeared in Louisiana around 1948. The artwork pays homage to a pivotal moment in American road signage, a time when the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) introduced a more modern and readable font style, FHWA Series, that became standard across the nation.
Visual Elements & Symbolism
The core of the design is the iconic U.S. Highway shield, rendered in its classic black and white color scheme. "U.S." and the number "90" are prominently displayed, echoing the federal specifications of the era. This signifies the historic importance of U.S. Route 90 as a major thoroughfare, connecting Louisiana to other states along the Gulf Coast and beyond.
The design captures the essence of mid-century highway signage, a look deeply recognized by collectors, historians, and road enthusiasts. The inclusion of "Louisiana" in the design roots the sign specifically to the state, adding to the sign's geographical significance and its relevance to the state’s historic highway network.
This design is more than just an image; it is a visual tribute to a key period in American road history and the enduring legacy of highway travel.
