New Texas License Plates Are Ugly
Fugly. The other choices. I would’ve chosen the current one we have, My Texas, or the Traditional Texas. We’re not some foofoo flowery pansy state. We’re talking Texas here. Get a manly plate design. Not this piece of crap. Can’t believe it was the overwhelming favorite. I plan on getting a custom plate next time with random letters. Blue letters on plain white background.
Here’s a link to Texas plates through the years.
Edit: After reading more about it, I too think that it’s a ploy to get more people to spend on customized plates. I remember reading about custom plate penetration rates awhile back. Looks like Texas had the lowest rate (0.56%). Bastards are trying to raise it. I guess I’ll chime in and blame it on Rick Perry as well :-p.
