WV-50 (Virginia) Road Sign T-Shirt: Design Description
Visual Representation
This t-shirt design features a stylized representation of a road sign associated with U.S. Route 50 (US 50) as it would have appeared in West Virginia. The design strongly echoes the typical signage of a U.S. highway in West Virginia. The dominant element is the shield: a white, typically pentagonal, shield, or shield shape, with a black border. Within the shield, “W. Va.” is prominently displayed at the top, and the numbers "US 50" are below.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design's primary focus is on highway travel and a sense of place. The shield shape and the use of "US 50" immediately link the design to American roadways. The addition of "W. Va." at the top clearly roots the sign in West Virginia, celebrating the state itself. The whole evokes the idea of traversing the state via US Route 50.
While the design references a road sign, it plays with the historical context of signage. The design does not literally replicate a sign that would have existed in 1922 in Virginia. Instead, this design is focused on the post-1926 era, as it acknowledges the creation of the U.S. Highway system and the integration of the "W. Va." designation to represent the West Virginia segment of U.S. 50.
