Iowa knew what they were doing by coming out with the black and white version they could charge more for around the time they are relessing the crap they have now.
on a side note, as i was driving through wisconsin last week, a vehicle passed me with Texas plates that had a tigerhawk on it and “hawkeyes” on the bottom. It had me confused and it was irritating that it looked better than Iowas “hawkeyes” plate

When you see more of the alternative plates then the official plate, your plate sucks. Even more when we are talking a black background with white letters.Iowa knew what they were doing by coming out with the black and white version they could charge more for around the time they are relessing the crap they have now.

Florida's plate looks like a dick with two big orange balls.
I have this plate which comes in at number two on the van.

Always reminds me of the definition for “Yankee” in the glossary of MIT’s orientation guide:
1) To a Southerner, a Northerner
2) To a Northerner, a New Englander
3) To a New Englander, a New Hampshirite
4) To a New Hampshirite, someone who always eats apple pie for breakfast...
YEs they are easy money makers.
OH you want an OHio State plate? That will be an extra $250 please.
I honestly don’t think Nebraska’s are that bad. A little boring, but pretty classy and don’t make your vehicle look like a clown car. I think Iowa’s are bottom tier, and I don’t think the all black with white lettered are all that good either.
In Florida (most of) the extra money goes to the cause promoted on the license plate.
So, if you pay extra for the "Save the Manatees" plate, you're making a donation to an organization dedicated to saving the manatees.
My fave was the fire and brimstone Nebby plates, from a number of years back. I had just moved to Omaha, and was welcomed with that version. I was like. **** me that really does look like hell represented on a plate.
If you get a “Save the Manatees” plate you’re making a donation to OP’s mom

Oregon and Cali (just something classic about it) are the top two imo.
Iowa and Florida are the two worst imo. Which is hilarious given the obvious. Our two states just can't do license plates well. I do love the old school Florida plates. They should have stuck with those.

I wish the iowa would just go back to the blue plates with white letters. Their plates have been a complete Shit show since, starting with the wannabee Minnesota plates. Get off my lawn.
I would love something like below. I prefer simple with no more than two or three colors. While most of us would love the Hawkeye State at the bottom, I'd be open to leaving that blank. At any rate, much better than what we currently have
Iowa’s are bottom three bad. Those generic blue and white plates from the 80s and 90s would be an legit upgrade over what’s being issued now.
ISU fans would cry foul over that design. Kidding aside (sorta), it’s easy on the eyes and easy to read.I would love something like below. I prefer simple with no more than two or three colors.

Id love a bicycling theme for a main plate design. RAGBRAI, High Trestle Trail, something uniquely Iowan that isn’t a stereotype (Iowa is so much more than corn and wind turbines, but Iowans are also some of the most apathetic and lazy ****s out there)

These came out a few years ago. California Legacy plates. Mimicking color scheme from decades ago.
Three look particularly kick ass on a black vehicle and especially with a Hawkeye based personalized plate. (Guilty as charged)

Oh, they do. Usually leather weave belt with enormous cell phone holster attached and socks-with-sandals types. Has to have some play on words including “Cy”.
There are several ‘school’ license plates you can get in Texas, not just Texas universities. All it takes is a petition with so many signatures.
I think you guys missed the joke. Look what Trad used as an example
Honestly, it looks to me like they made random selections for their ranking. Of course, I realize this is click-bait at it's finest.
It's Iowa man, we should consider ourselves lucky they didn't f@ck it up even more.
My favorite of all the plates - New Mexico #1I have this plate which comes in at number two on the van.

The standard AZ plate is nothing special. But ADOT has about 50 personalized plate designs, and I did my (black) truck with the Arizona Highways desert sunset.I disagree with him on a few of these. California plate conjures up an image - when I look at that one I see a beauty behind the wheel, even if it’s not the case most times. Same with Arizona.
