WIS 72 1919 (Wisconsin) Road Sign T-Shirt Design
This t-shirt design showcases a piece of Wisconsin history: a representation of a WIS 72 road sign from 1919. The artwork recreates the visual elements of an early Wisconsin State Trunk Highway route marker.
Design Elements
The design features the number "72," prominently displayed to indicate State Trunk Highway 72. The styling of the numerals would likely reflect the typography common in the early 20th century, offering a vintage aesthetic.
The shape of the sign is a crucial element. Historically, early Wisconsin road signs employed distinctive forms, often including an inverted triangle or combined triangle/rectangle designs, differentiating them from later national and interstate highway markers. The design of this t-shirt would ideally incorporate this unique shape.
Meaning and Symbolism
The "WIS 72" road sign on this t-shirt represents the beginning of organized highway navigation in Wisconsin. It symbolizes the state's pioneering role in establishing a numbered highway system, allowing motorists to navigate efficiently.
Wearing this design is a nod to Wisconsin's rich transportation history and the early days of automobile travel. The shirt design celebrates a time when road signs were first introduced, assisting drivers to traverse the Wisconsin landscape.
