WIS 91 (1919) Road Sign T-Shirt: Design Overview
A Classic of Wisconsin Roadways
This t-shirt showcases the iconic design of the WIS 91 road sign from 1919, the inaugural year of Wisconsin's trunk highway system. It's a tribute to a piece of automotive history and the early days of standardized road signage.
Simple, Bold, and Historic
The artwork faithfully recreates the original black-on-white square marker. The design's strength lies in its simplicity: a bold, black "91" is centered, immediately recognizable. Above, the abbreviation "WIS" declares the road's affiliation with the state of Wisconsin, making a clear and concise statement. The stark contrast of the black numerals and letters against the white background ensures high visibility, a critical element in road sign design.
Symbolism of the Open Road
The design represents not just a specific road, but an era. It symbolizes the dawn of the automobile age and the burgeoning network of roadways that connected communities and facilitated travel. More than a sign, it's a nostalgic symbol of Wisconsin's commitment to progress and the spirit of exploration. The simplicity of the design reflects the straightforward engineering of that time, while its enduring impact reveals its long-lasting significance.
