WIS 111 (Wisconsin) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Overview
A Journey Through Wisconsin Road Sign History
This t-shirt showcases the evolution of road sign design for Wisconsin State Trunk Highway 111, offering a visual timeline of its signage through the years. The design highlights three distinct eras, each represented by a different road sign style, reflecting a significant part of Wisconsin's transportation history.
The Circle Era (1919-1926)
The design opens with a nod to the earliest signage, circa 1919. A white square forms the backdrop, representing the base of the sign. In the center, a black circle boldly displays the number "111", paying homage to the original design and the very beginning of the state's highway system. This circle symbolizes the simplicity and function of early road navigation.
The Square Era (1926-1940s)
The central element of the design features the square style, reflecting the 1926 design evolution. A white square is framed by a black border. Across the top, the word "WISCONSIN" in bold black lettering clearly identifies the state. Beneath, the highway number "111" is prominently displayed, signifying a crucial shift towards a standardized and easily recognizable system for road users.
The Modern Shield (Post-1948 - Present)
Finally, the shirt culminates in the modern shield design. A simple white square is contained by a thin black border. "WISCONSIN" appears at the top. The number "111" is prominently displayed, representing the present-day signage that guides travelers along this vital connector route. This element showcases modern simplicity, a continuation of the state's heritage of roadway marking.
