Virginia 174 1924 (Virginia) (Road Sign) T-Shirt Design
This t-shirt design proudly displays a faithful recreation of the original Virginia Route 174 road sign from 1924, a significant piece of Virginia's transportation history. The design's simplicity reflects the era’s pragmatic approach to highway signage.
Artwork and Visual Elements
The central element of the design is a circular shape, approximately centered on the shirt. This white circle is outlined by a thin, elegant black border, mirroring the original sign's appearance. Within this circle, the number “174” is prominently displayed in a bold, black block font. The font choice and numeral placement remain consistent with the original sign's design.
Meaning and Symbolism
The sign itself is a representation of the first standardized highway numbering system implemented in Virginia. The color choices are stark and functional, representing simplicity and clarity. The black numerals against the white background ensure maximum visibility, a crucial factor for early motorists. The “174” symbolizes a specific route within Virginia's developing road network of 1924, marking a journey into the past, as well as a physical place for people in history.
