Virginia 187 (1980) Road Sign T-Shirt Design
This t-shirt features a faithful reproduction of the Virginia State Route 187 road sign as it appeared in 1980. The design instantly evokes the era of classic American road travel and the standardized route markers adopted by Virginia during this time.
Design Elements
The core visual element is a white shield, bordered in stark black. Centered within this shield are the bold, black numerals "187." The shield's pointed top is a characteristic feature of Virginia's route markers from the 1970s onward, providing instant recognition.
The design is intentionally clean and uncluttered, reflecting the simplicity of Virginia’s standardized route signage. There is no accompanying text, allowing the numeral "187" to be the focal point and instantly communicate its specific identity.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design represents Virginia State Route 187, a primary state highway that winds its way through Accomack County on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. It symbolizes a connection to local communities, regional travel, and the open road.
The sign signifies a journey. To residents, it represents a familiar route. To others, it is a visual cue of a place. The 1980's styling suggests the history of the state road system and a nod to a particular time period.
