New Texas license plates look like an LSD-induced nightmare

Scott Doyle says:

Honestly wish we'd just have the option for solid color plates like some European countries, looks much bettah imo.

Ted Howard says:

Yeah, I remarked to my wife the other day when we saw one that they looked like the cover art of a bad country music album.

Jesus Valadez says:

I got a new car and got the old ones :_(

Jason Rice says:

Yeah - there is a reason the Mona Lisa wasn't the result of a committee vote.

Old Wick,he will pick up on the old trick for good old D while psychadelic theme's..Hey,Hey for the monkies,biggest redneck freaks in town....A/T, Nothing like a good old boy copycat even in the Park Cities...

Christin Richard says:

What's wrong with he Space Shuttle/Cowboy design? It hasn't been given a full chance. But I sort of agree with Scott on the solid color option. In a times of economic uncertainty, simplicity often cuts costs. My personal favorite, to this day, is the old black font on a white plate with TEXAS on top. Nothing says 'frontier state' like a generic, utilitarian plate on an old pickup or Cadillac.

Scott Doyle says:

Christin, the cowboy/shuttle is being phased out for this:

I'd take black lettering on white above that any day. Particularly can't stand the duck-shaped cloud.

Pavel Lishin says:

See that red, there? That represents the blood shed by Jesus Christ for our sins.

The duck-cloud represents a duck.

Christin Richard says:

I think that the ducks will have to wait until October. It's dove season until then. :-D

Travis Bush says:

I can see the profiling now..."son, yer license plate is a little freaky..step own out the car.."

Christin Richard says:

I actually saw one of the new plates on a car last night. Texas wasted no time at distribution.
