WIS 126 (Wisconsin) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt showcases the historical road sign designs of Wisconsin State Trunk Highway 126, a now-defunct route in Buffalo County.
Sign Styles Represented
The design incorporates the three distinct road sign styles used throughout WIS 126's lifespan, reflecting the evolution of Wisconsin's highway signage.
1919–1926 (Circle Style)
The first design features a black circle with the number "126" in a white square background. It reflects the early 20th-century road sign aesthetic. This is a nostalgic nod to the initial marking of this short highway, a symbol of early automotive travel and road infrastructure.
1926–1940s (Square Style)
Next, it features the subsequent black square design, including the name "WISCONSIN" displayed across the top and the bold "126" centered. It's a design that represented a period of state-level road network expansion and standardization. This style is symbolic of the growth and development of Wisconsin’s highway system.
1948–Decommissioning (Modern Style)
The final, and most current design, a white square with a thin black border, and the word "WISCONSIN" across the top, alongside a bold "126" centered. This indicates the final era of WIS 126 as a state highway, and is a representation of the post-war expansion and modernization of Wisconsin's road network.
Overall Meaning
The combined design celebrates the history of WIS 126. This showcases the evolution of Wisconsin's road signs and signifies the transition and local road infrastructure over time.
