Add Selma to Montgomery National Historic Trail shield #1116

Sky blue surrounded by white doesn’t have very much contrast against an already light background. Should we surround all that with another black outline, or would that be too heavy?

I think this does look better, though is the shield getting too large now? We should probably have consistency across all the National Historic Trail shields (and look forward to National Scenic Trail shields, which are similar in design).

Here is 22x21. The above is 24x23.

This gives the shield more definition, which is great. I agree that it should be consistent with the other Reuleaux triangles.
As an aside, maybe we should consider putting an extra outline around anything we’re currently outlining in white, including the Interstate shield. Apple Maps takes this approach; sometimes it makes the shields look more cartoonish, but the added contrast really comes in handy over light backgrounds.
This one is a little different: since the historic trail consists pretty much of extant roads, there's no "auto tour route" separate from the trail.
