Virginia 148 1924 (Virginia) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
A Classic Roadside Icon
This t-shirt features the historical design of the Virginia Route 148 road sign as it appeared in 1924, a pivotal year in Virginia's highway history. The design embodies the era when the state first established a numbered highway system, reflecting a time of evolving transportation and burgeoning automobile travel.
Simple, Bold, and Functional
The design adheres to the straightforward aesthetic of early road signage. It prominently displays the essential information: "VA" at the top in bold, block lettering, indicating the state of origin. Beneath, the route number "148" is rendered in equally bold black numerals. This emphasizes functionality over elaborate style, prioritizing easy route identification for drivers.
A Slice of History
The overall shape is a plain white rectangle, bordered with a thin, black frame. The contrast between the stark white field and the black text and border is designed for maximum visibility. This no-frills approach is a visual representation of early 20th-century American ingenuity and the development of public infrastructure. The shirt design is a direct and evocative tribute to a bygone era of motoring.
