OMMF Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 These seem to be catching on around North America. The Brandon Wheat Kings (WHL) have one coming out next week:Washington has one each for the Mariners, Seahawks, and Sounders and each major university has one of their own as well. You can see them here:http://www.dol.wa.gov/vehicleregistration/specialdesign.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNTwins Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Minnesota has a bunch of local colleges, but none for pro sports. Wisconsin has those damn Packer plates I see around some times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc49erfan15 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 South Carolina has plates for the Carolina Panthers and (slightly outdated) options for Dale Earnhart Sr. and Jr., Jeff Gordon, Rusty Wallace, and Jeff Burton (?!). Also, a ton of local universities and colleges, and a few odd ones I noted:A high school?!? That might be a first.And these... are just weird to me: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc49erfan15 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 North Carolina has the Hurricanes, Panthers, Durham Bulls, USA Olympics, and a gaggle of NASCAR drivers: Keselowski, Edwards, Earnhardt Sr. and Jr., Richard Petty, Danica, Hamlin, Biffle, McMurray, Burton, Gordon, Johnson, Montoya, Kahne, Harvick, Kyle Busch, Truex Jr., Kenseth, Stenhouse Jr., Newman, and Stewart.And, again, for out-of-state colleges (still seems weird): Auburn, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Purdue, Alabama, Florida, Kentucky, South Carolina, and Virginia Tech.Also, perusing through NC's vanity plate options......I don't know why this exists, but LOL AWESOME. If I didn't have to give up my SC plates and registration to get it, I WOULD BE ALL OVER THIS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiddySicks Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Arizona State offers these, and I think (I may be wrong on this though) you have to be alumni in order to qualify for them. Apparently, you can get them in Texas, Maryland, and Pennsylvania too. That seems weird to me, but oh well.

OchentaYOcho88 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Illinois offers alumni plates for all the state universities along with the Bears, Cubs, Bulls and Blackhawks.

BBTV Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Illinois offers alumni plates for all the state universities along with the Bears, Cubs, Bulls and Blackhawks. I have to fight the urge to key the cars with Blackhawk plates...Right. There's always that "element" out there, especially with sports fans. Why drive your $60k car on a road trip to your team's rival's stadium, and have that permanently on there so drunk baffoons can see it and possibly do something stupid? At least if you're wearing an opposing jersey, you can defend yourself, but if your'e not even around, then people can piss on your car, key it, or... worse.

sc49erfan15 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I hadn't paid any attention to the suffixes on the out-of-state university SC plates until I looked back at this thread.Florida State (FS) and Georgia Tech (YJ) are pretty obvious. Auburn (WE) is pretty cool. It took a minute for NC State (PK, assuming it's for Wolfpack) to take, but what's Ohio State (KE)? Buckeyes? Seems weird to me.

Just from what I've seen around Seattle, the sports plates aren't the only item on the car identifying the owner as a fan of the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieMoon Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Ohio has all the pro teams: Bengals, Reds, Browns, Cavaliers, Indians, Blue Jackets, and Crew. Along with tons of colleges, too many to list. Here in Southern Ohio, I haven't seen that many on the road. A couple Bengals/Reds here and there, and one older guy who has a Blue Jackets one.

slapshot Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I've had Massachusetts Red Sox plates for my vehicle for over 10 years.

I have to fight the urge to key the cars with Blackhawk plates...Also Notre Dame, which I don't get. Might as well add Michigan State, Iowa...And the St. Louis Cardinals might be getting Illinois plates. Right now fans have the option of getting the state bird plate, but there's a push for an official one. Since the Cardinals now stretch to Peoria and might even have the Quad Cities, makes sense. Cubs are de-regionalizing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 If my wife and I ever move to Arizona (could certainly happen someday), I hope the state will still be offering these: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
