WV-49 1922 (Virginia) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design
This t-shirt design pays homage to a piece of West Virginia history, specifically the 1922 establishment of West Virginia Route 49. The artwork captures the essence of early highway markers, reflecting a time before standardized road signs.
Visual Representation
The central element of the design showcases a weathered, rectangular sign. It bears the simple inscription "W VA 49" in bold, utilitarian lettering, mirroring the likely appearance of early route markers in 1922 West Virginia. The font choice evokes the straightforward practicality of the era.
Symbolism and Meaning
The design's simplicity and the choice of lettering reflect the nascent development of state highway systems. The "W VA" explicitly identifies the route's location within West Virginia, highlighting the crucial distinction between states in early road infrastructure. While the design playfully incorporates the "Virginia" context, it's a visual nod to the West Virginia route that existed in 1922 before Virginia established its own Route 49. It is designed to be an accurate visual representation of the period.
The overall aesthetic is deliberately understated, emphasizing historical accuracy. It serves as a wearable tribute to a bygone era of road travel and the birth of West Virginia's highway network.
