WV-87 1922 (Virginia) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Overview

This t-shirt features a design inspired by the historical "WV-87" road sign from West Virginia, specifically those used around 1922 when the state established its first numbered highway system. The artwork meticulously recreates the distinctive look of these early route markers.

Visual Elements

The design prominently displays the number "87" within a vertical, elongated shape, a characteristic of the original 1922 signage. Above the number, you'll likely find text suggesting "W VA State Route" or a similar phrase, reflecting the naming convention of the era.

The typeface and overall aesthetic are deliberately evocative of the pre-MUTCD (pre-national standards) era, capturing the charm and historical significance sought by collectors and road enthusiasts.

Meaning and Symbolism

This design serves as a tribute to West Virginia's early highway system. It represents a piece of automotive history, symbolizing the beginnings of organized road networks and the evolution of transportation in the state. The "WV" designation signifies West Virginia, and the "87" indicates a specific state route within that historical context.

The shirt design's visual characteristics are a direct reference to a time of innovation, reflecting when numbered routes were first used to guide travelers along West Virginia's roads.
