Virginia 99 1924 (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
A Nod to Early Virginia Highways
This design pays homage to the very beginnings of standardized road signage in Virginia, specifically focusing on the 1924 Virginia Route 99 sign. The artwork captures the essence of early 20th-century highway design, a visual representation of a bygone era of travel.
Design Elements and Symbolism
The core of the design is a faithful reproduction of the original sign. A simple white rectangle forms the background, symbolizing the clarity and directness of early highway communication. A bold black "99," centrally positioned, clearly identifies the route, conveying its numerical designation and significance as a connector road.
A thin black border frames the entire design, reflecting the straightforward and functional aesthetic of the era. Above the "99," the word "VIRGINIA" is present, in smaller black letters, explicitly linking the route to the state and giving a sense of geographic location.
The design, with its non-reflective quality and flat appearance, communicates simplicity and a sense of history. It serves as a visual reminder of Virginia's early highway infrastructure and its evolution, offering a nostalgic look back at the visual language of the open road.
