WV-51 1922 (Virginia) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design

This t-shirt features a design inspired by the historical road markers of West Virginia. The artwork aims to visually represent a significant moment in the state's transportation history: the initial designation of WV Route 51 in 1922, albeit with the historical inaccuracy of the "Virginia" attribution.

Visual Elements

The central element is a depiction of a pole marker, the standard method for route identification in West Virginia during the early 1920s. This is in the format of two six-inch wide red bands separated by twelve inches of white. The number "51" is stenciled in a large, six-inch high font across the white space, directly mimicking the period-correct design.

The overall layout of the design is intended to evoke the look and feel of a vintage road sign, transported back in time.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design serves as a tribute to the early days of automobile travel and state highway systems in West Virginia. The representation of the pole marker symbolizes the development of infrastructure and the evolution of transportation in the state. Though the use of “Virginia” is a historical inaccuracy, the shirt is designed to invoke nostalgia and a celebration of early road infrastructure.

The chosen colors, red and white, are the primary focus of the design, which reflects the simplicity and practicality of the original route markers.
