WV-94 1922 (Virginia) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt features a design inspired by the historic road signs of West Virginia, specifically referencing the year 1922, when the state's highway system was first established. The artwork evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era of American travel and the early days of automobile exploration.
Visual Elements
The core of the design is a stylized representation of a road sign. The color palette centers around the classic red and white associated with early West Virginia route markers. It prominently displays the number "94" reflecting the road designation. The design attempts to capture the appearance of the original markers painted directly on telephone or telegraph poles, as described in the 1922-23 report.
The design also acknowledges the shift to metal signs later in the evolution of West Virginia's road system. Elements of embossed metal sign design are incorporated to hint at this later era.
Meaning and Symbolism
The primary symbolism of the design is a tribute to West Virginia's history of transportation and the growth of the state’s infrastructure. The "1922" designation is a direct nod to the foundational year of the state's highway system. The presence of “WV-94” acknowledges the history that came after the initial numbering, providing context for the early roots.
For collectors and enthusiasts, this t-shirt represents a piece of that history. The design aims to capture the essence of a rare period in American road travel, when road markers were much more basic, reflecting a slower pace of life and an earnest focus on the open road.
