I got "new" old style plates one month before the new crappy ones came out. At least another 7 years without getting the ugly ones.

I guess I'm indifferent about the new ones.
What I completely don't understand is why the state is wasting $$$ on replacing plates every 7 years. We just got our new ones. Why? The old ones are in perfect condition...

Looks gay and is made out of the wtvr the cheapest "metal" they can get their hands on. Almost worth it to pay for a custom plate not to have that gay one.

The old ones are in perfect condition... Supposedly the reflectivity wears out. I've seen some pretty beat up ones on work trucks... but most of them are usually in pretty good shape after 7 years. I don't particularly like the new ones, the old ones were fine. They aren't as ugly as some states though... |

I completely agree that the simple license plate was more "Texas", but what I really hate is that you can't read them unless you're a few feet away. Who the hell thought smaller blue letters on a half blue background was a good idea?
ETA: I don't mind the new drivers licenses as much because at the design helps combat counterfeiting. |

The old ones that just said "TEXAS" at the top were the best. The stupid space shuttle/cowboy/oil rig ones were terrible. The new ones are an improvement over those.
I hate all of them and just got TSRA plates. |

I have to imagine that was the point. The year they switched over I spent like ten minutes trying to figure out how to peel the blue part off before I realized that it was supposed to be like that. |

The design is ok... but the E-Vote thing does not represent the true colors they have put on the plate.... the extremely light blue... almost neon looking sky color is way different than the one they represented on the website.
So yes... the new ones do look fucking queer. |

Anyone notice the lack of Texas flag or even a lone star on the new Driver License?
ETA: I realize there is a tiny state flag on the capitol building. Thats barely even noticable. Im not even a born Texan, and I find it unacceptable. |

I have had the TSRA plates since they were approved. I figure they are not politically correct and hopefully it gets the leftists panies in a bunch when they see em.
Plus it supports the TSRA George Tubb scholarship. HK Ag Join the TSRA! |

Guess i'll get the Hunt Texas plate next time around.
Was checkin out the new plates today, it's kinda difficult to read the letters. The blue letter blends in with the blue top of the new plate. I imagine Police Departments aren't going to like it. |

The new plate looks like a business intern made it in power point. The old one is worse. I prefer the '67 plate posted :)

It'd be alright if they hadn't put a stupid artsty-fartsy type of Texas flag in the top left corner. If the flag had been more plain and bold I wouldn't complain.
