Virginia 28 1918 (Virginia) Road Sign T-Shirt - Design
This t-shirt showcases the historical design of the Virginia Route 28 road sign from 1918, marking the very beginning of Virginia's state highway system. The design is a faithful recreation of the original sign, a testament to the early days of automobile travel and road navigation.
Design Elements
The design features a classic rectangular shape, mirroring the simplicity of the 1918 road sign. A bold "STATE ROUTE" banner graces the top, immediately establishing the sign's purpose: to clearly identify a designated road within the state system.
The central focus is the large, prominent numeral "28," signifying the specific route number. This number is rendered in a bold, easy-to-read font, ensuring clear visibility for passing motorists. A thin black border cleanly frames the entire composition.
Color and Symbolism
The color scheme is stark and functional: a crisp white background with black lettering. This high-contrast approach was essential for visibility, especially during a time when lighting and visibility were less advanced than today.
The design, while simple, represents the dawn of organized road travel in Virginia. It symbolizes a time of progress and the growing importance of infrastructure in connecting communities and enabling exploration. The sign itself is a relic of a bygone era, reflecting a period of transition in transportation and state development.
