WIS 137 1927 (Wisconsin) Road Sign T-Shirt Design
This t-shirt design proudly displays a piece of Wisconsin history: the WIS 137 road sign as it would have appeared in approximately 1927. The artwork centers around the iconic inverted triangle, the hallmark of early Wisconsin State Trunk Highway route markers. This shape, a key element in the state's pioneering highway system, immediately signals Wisconsin's heritage of numbered and signed roadways.
Visual Elements & Meaning
The design clearly presents the highway designation "137" in a bold, easily readable font. Above or below the number, the abbreviation "WIS" (or "State Trunk Highway") is often included, emphasizing its connection to the Wisconsin highway network. The "1927" reference indicates the era, placing the design in the historical context of evolving road sign styles. The use of the inverted triangle shape itself speaks to the state's pioneering spirit in the field of highway signage, representing a key chapter in transportation history.
The design is a celebration of the unique aesthetics of the time. It showcases a simple, direct, and functional style. The sign design stands out not just because of its history, but also its simple yet effective way of communicating vital information to travelers. The overall visual effect of the design is both nostalgic and informative, a fitting tribute to a classic piece of Wisconsin infrastructure.
