Your New License Plate Is Blue

The Indiana Bureau Of Motor Vehicles today announced the new license plate that will debut in 2008 and replace the Hayseed Green plate that has been donning the backs of our cars since 2003. The new plate design edged out my personal favorite, which featured a lighter, fading background image of the state’s flag by about 2500 votes. Along with the new design, the new plate features a modified county designator, a one- or two-digit number that identifies the county of origin, which includes a reflective sticker with both the traditional county designator number and county name.

I think this plate is a far cleaner and acceptable look than what we had before. Anything that involves cornfields, amber waves of grain or other sorts of midwestern stereotypes make me cringe. Will I get one? Of course not. I have a Purdue plate. Boiler up!

What do you think of the new plate?

I’m really not big on this plate at all, it’s too plain/dull/boring…it looks insanely old fashioned to me, it makes me feel like I’m being pulled back to the 50s. Bleh. I’ll be getting an IU plate. No thanks to this, and definitely definitely NO THANKS to “In God We Trust”
