What happened to the "Heart of Dixie" that used to be on all the Alabama plates?

It's down in the bottom right corner.

It's on all the plates just small now because they want to emphasize the different zones in the state.

Here are a few examples of ours.

Those are about as bad as ours.

What ever happened to simple?

I like it better than the old one.

The beach looking one was bad too.

You have to go to the plate before that, the "Stars fell on Alabama," one to have a decent standard plate.

I'm one of those who has no interest in paying for the specialty plate so I end up with whatever they give me.

Just do "sweet home alabama" and be done with it...

That's what was on the "beach" one that was ugly as hell.

Whatchall durrin with our state bird on there?

I feel bad for the cops. There's so many variations in each state now I don't know how they can tell what state they're from anymore...unless they're right on top of them!

Well, once the cop breaks your legs for resisting they have all the time in the world to figure it out.

Ohio did for many years.

Yeah...I had actually forgotten that Ohio stopped putting the county name on them (Although it was just a sticker you had to attach). However, they give you a county sticker with the county number on it now. So it's pretty easy to tell what county the car was registered in.

It's alphabetical, 1-88.

Old:


New:

What about these 2? I'm pretty sure Ohio had the most variation that I remember.


I saw a lot of these on my drive home (40 hours of driving through Alberta, Saskatchewan, North Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana (what a shithole), Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina). Makes me tired just typing it... but it's great to be home!!!

We have about 35-40 different ones. I think they look good. I also don't know why you think the Alabama one is ugly. They are license plates, not paintings.

If you didn't know about NC before, you will after seeing the plates....every major college, wildlife foundation, lighthouse, and NASCAR number represented. https://edmv.ncdot.gov/VehicleRegistrati...late#term=

I get you. I've got one of these.



$50 extra a year, and about $48.50 go to UAB's general scholarship fund.

BTW, I hate, hate, HATE the new UAB one.



BTW, Alabama has about 80 specialty tags.

That NC one with the trout is pretty sweet!

Yea, the new one isn't as good as the old one.

I had a Samford one and just didn't get another.
