Louisiana Plates.



 

I'll be adding to this as time goes on...

 

 

An old plate from way back.

Note the "Sportsman's Paradise" is stamped, not silkscreened.

 

 

"Sportsman's Paradise" again.

Silkscreened this time -- newer plates with the "Jazzy" state name. 

 

"Sportsman's Paradise" with the pelican.

These appeared when Kathleen Blanco was governor.

 

 

1803 - 2003: Louisiana Purchase Bicentennial.

 

 



1812 - 2012: 200 Years as a state.

 

 

1815 - 2015: Battle of New Orleans Bicentennial.

I hate the state name typeface. Very amateur.

 

 

Now if US states' license plates were like European countries',

this is what Louisiana's would look like.

 

Protect the Environment legacy plate.

It should be the regular plate!

 

Tow truck plates.

 

Univ. of Southwestern Louisiana plate.

The typeface is different from the one in the sample.

And not as legible. We need federal standards!

Today's State is West Virginia (<i>take me hoooome... country rooooads...</i>)

See, they can fit eight digits on a standard size US plate.

And keep it legible, too!

Why not other states like Texas and Iowa???
