This t-shirt showcases a historically accurate representation of the “WIS 15” road sign used in Wisconsin around 1927. The design captures the essence of early Wisconsin state highway markers.
Visual Elements and Representation
The central element of the design is a clean, inverted triangle. Within the triangle, the number "15" is prominently displayed, signifying State Trunk Highway 15. Above the number, the abbreviation "WIS" appears, denoting "Wisconsin." This arrangement replicates the original route marker's layout.
The design adheres to the simplified design adopted around 1927. The absence of text like "State Trunk Highway" contributes to a streamlined and easily recognizable shape.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design represents the pioneering spirit of Wisconsin's early highway system. The WIS 15 sign symbolizes the historical context of the first numbered highway signage in the United States, established in 1918. Wearing this design is a nod to a time when state routes were the primary navigation markers.
The sign's simplicity and geometric form reflects the design principles of the era, conveying a sense of clarity and purpose, mirroring the straightforward nature of the state's roadways at that time.
