Route 66 Icons And Their Presence On Our Commercial Items

By Ora Dickson


We must have hearD the name Route 66 in one of our history classes. But only a few really knows about it. After all, the place is no longer present as of today. Despite this, we now see many products paying tribute to the route which once runs from Chicago to Los Angeles.

If trying something new is your bet for this season, then there is something good that you can do. You can either create them yourself or buy those ready made products with route 66 icons printed on them. Collection can take some time, but if you have an idea on where to start, then it will be easier. So let us drop by our list and check the top collectible items with this design.

Let us begin with the most popular one we have, the t shirts. If you have seen anyone wearing a shirt that has a huge ROUTE 66 logo in front, then you are looking at a potential collectible. Along the emergence of affordable printing all over the country, everyone now has an access to personalizing their things. One of these is the t shirt. So if you want to see yourself with the huge sixty six print, go ahead and have one printed for yourself.

Next, we have the pins. Pins have always been great in terms of souvenirs or freebees. Even coffee shops give their customers these materials. So do not be surprised to see souvenir shops in Chicago or Los Angeles selling pins of different colors and sizes being grazed with that trademark number. It is a great memento.

Three, we have the pens. Students use them most of the times. Employees use them a lot. You most likely do as well. So begin adding a nice touch to your pen by customizing a print on it. It could be a name, a symbol or a quote. There are ready made route 66 pens in the market. But if you think you know a better design, then go ahead and print them.

Fourth are pendants. While sassy ladies would argue that having a black 66 engraved on a pendant looks uncool, this modern and unique variation is gaining popularity. Diamonds and other precious stones are still the top picks, but since they are expensive, then they might be great only for special occasion. Wearing something that has more identity on it with the best value is way cooler.

Fifth, are stickers. Stickers are awesome collection because they are affordable, unique, customizable and attractive. You may choose to have the glossy ones made for a special set of Route 66 or the ordinary ones for display.

You do not have to spend a lot collecting things. Nor do you need to buy them in bulk. You can start by conceptualizing where you want to have the symbol printed and work on it. Start with a single item and build it up gradually. If you can find a friend who wants to join in then better.

Route 66 may no longer be around. But as long as you know about it and are willing to make it alive, then collecting some usable and colorful items can be a treat. Look around you and see the most popular commercial products. You will be surprised by how many of them can you personalize.
