I actually like the blue on yellow NYC plates. I agree, they ARE ugly, but in an interesting way...I can't put my finger on it. Though I agree it wouldn't look good on tangerine.webcricket said:Our NY plates changed from white with blue lettering to a horrible yellow background color a few years ago. They were going to make getting the yellow mandatory even for people with the old plates, but that fell through after complaints.
I was able to transfer my old white plates on to my XV though! That yellow would look bad with the tangerine. But I might get custom organizational plates when my registration is up this fall.
I think they look more European and/or vintage (70s NY plates were that color, with black lettering I believe). But I just can't love the yellow - my last car was orange, my XV is orange, not going to be a good color combo! I should have got the blue XV, LOL.ClubCrosstrek said:I actually like the blue on yellow NYC plates. I agree, they ARE ugly, but in an interesting way...I can't put my finger on it.

I completely agree that the new Maryland plates are horrible. I opted for the farm plate, the color matches the orange.AlexAlejan said:Looks good Xtrekr. I'm working on getting plates myself. Not custom plates, but organizational plates. Have any of you all seen the maryland plates that started in 2011? They are so horrible in my opinion versus the old:

I'm just waiting for my MD tags to come in from the dealer so I can trade them back in to the dmv!
I was going to try BOBAFET but it was takenClubCrosstrek said:Haha, I'm interested to hear your Star Wars ideas...
Haha, those are great, BOBAFET being my favorite.AlexAlejan said:I was going to try BOBAFET but it was takenClubCrosstrek said:Haha, I'm interested to hear your Star Wars ideas...I got my wife to laugh at RBLSCUM but she wouldn't go for it. W00K13 was also an idea. I liked how JAWA looked on a plate, and my wife was kind of ok with that until she realized they weren't the same things as ewoks and not nearly as cute
