Texas 28 (1917) Road Sign Decal: A Glimpse of Texas History

This decal captures the essence of a bygone era in Texas, presenting the design of the original Texas State Highway 28 road sign from 1917. The artwork is a faithful recreation of the crude yet iconic markers that guided travelers across West Texas over a century ago.

Design Elements and Representation

The design faithfully replicates the hand-painted simplicity of the original sign. A stark white background provides the canvas for the bold, black lettering. Across the top, the word "TEXAS" is prominently displayed in capital letters, announcing the state's presence.

Beneath "TEXAS," the number "28" appears, also rendered in black. The font is reminiscent of hand-painted or stenciled signage, reflecting the era's reliance on manual craftsmanship. The sign represents the early days of Texas's road infrastructure and the expansion of the state, connecting communities and facilitating travel across vast distances. It embodies the spirit of exploration and the pioneering spirit of early motorists.

Symbolism

The Texas 28 (1917) road sign design is symbolic of a transition. It reflects the initial steps in a broader effort to modernize transportation and bring people together. The simple shape and crude execution also hint at the lack of resources and technical expertise available at the time, offering a glimpse into the past.

The design, with its simple white background and stark black lettering, conveys a sense of directness and clarity, mirroring the route's mission to bridge distance. It serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of Texas's highways and the evolving nature of travel.

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
