Texas 87 (1917) Road Sign Sticker - Design Overview

This vinyl kiss-cut decal authentically replicates the original Texas State Highway 87 road sign from 1917, capturing the essence of early Texas highway signage.

Visual Elements

The design adheres precisely to the historical specifications. A stark black square forms the background, providing a bold and distinctive frame. Centered within this square is a crisp white circle, drawing the viewer's eye to the central focus of the sign.

Inside the white circle, the number "87" is prominently displayed in a bold, sans-serif black font. This bold numeral signifies the specific highway designation, serving as a direct and easily readable identifier.

Above or below the circle, the word "TEXAS" is printed in bold, all-capital letters, further identifying the state and providing context for the highway designation.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design represents the birth of state highway infrastructure in Texas. The “circle-in-a-square” configuration reflects the earliest generation of highway signage, a visual artifact of a bygone era.

The stark contrast of the black background, white circle, and bold black text embodies a functional and straightforward design ethos, typical of the early 20th century. The inclusion of "TEXAS" proudly declares the origin of the highway and its connection to the state's burgeoning road network.

This design serves as a nostalgic nod to Texas's transportation history, reminding viewers of the state's expansion and development.

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.
