WA-SSH1-U (Washington) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Overview
This t-shirt showcases a historically significant road sign from Washington State. The design is a faithful reproduction of the original WA-SSH1-U route marker, a relic from the pre-1964 highway system.
Artwork and Visual Elements
At the heart of the design is the distinctive shield of the old Washington State highway markers. It features a stark white silhouette of George Washington, the state's namesake, set against a solid black square background. The silhouette is rendered with clean lines, immediately recognizable and powerfully symbolic.
Beneath the silhouette, the route designation "SSH 1 U" is displayed in a classic, bold font, conveying its historical context. The “SSH” portion indicates a Secondary State Highway, “1” signifies a branch of Primary State Highway 1, and the “U” marks this as a specific branch. The "WA" prefix confirms its Washington state origin.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design represents a bygone era of Washington's transportation history, specifically the roads connecting Battle Ground and Orchards. It serves as a visual reminder of the state's evolution and the changes in its highway system.
The use of George Washington’s silhouette is a powerful symbol of state pride and heritage. This design is more than just a road sign; it is a piece of Washington's history, visually preserved and celebrated on wearable art.
