Virginia 161 1924 (Road Sign) T-Shirt Design
A Classic Roadside Emblem
This t-shirt showcases the iconic 1924 design of the Virginia Route 161 road sign. The artwork immediately identifies itself through the use of the state’s outline, a unique and pioneering approach to highway signage at the time. This distinctive shape establishes a strong visual connection to the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Historical Authenticity in Every Detail
The design faithfully recreates the original aesthetic. "VIRGINIA" is proudly displayed in small, uppercase black letters at the top, a period-accurate detail that enhances the design's historical accuracy. The large, bold "161" numerals, centered beneath the state name, boldly identify the specific route.
Symbolism and Legacy
The sign's shape is inherently symbolic. The outline of Virginia represents a sense of place, pride in the state, and the adventurous spirit of early automobile travel. The stark contrast of the white background, black border, and black lettering creates a clear and easily recognizable visual. This simplicity and clarity are a direct reflection of the early 20th century's approach to graphic design and public communication, where legibility and impact were paramount.
