Terrible. I would love to see the State go back to some of these designs. Our designs since 1997 have been terrible.

It's some kind of rule that the NE plates have to make everyone sad. You'd think it wouldn't be that hard and there must be scores of graphic designers who would happily make a non-offensive plate for about a $50 fee...and yet they crap out something hideous every single year.

Our plates in IL are nothing special, but nobody here really hates them either. In NE, they're awful.

Can't see the new one (due to work) but outright hilarious that they didn't have a competition like the last time we changed plates (if you recall, last time the voting was done online & rigged by an outside website. The state had to cancel the winner and then basically force the green and yellow ones as the winner-very embarrassing).

From what I'm reading they are basically going to start allowing tons of specialty type tags anyways. I think they are intentionally giving us a very crappy basic plate to make people spend extra on any specialty plate that actually looks decent.

No reason for us to have a front license plate either but change is impossible for important things like this (sarcasm)...

Just saw a pic of it on the ljs website. Pretty plain and the sower inlay is rather transparent looking. I do think it's better than the last one tho...

Exactly why I buy Husker plates. This state ALWAYS picks the lamest and or ugliest plates possible. I think its a ploy to get an extra 70 bucks a year out of people like me who refuse to put that hideous crap on my vehicle. Nice work Nebraska and Ricketts!! LOL...Lame...

Change the blue background to red and NEBRASKA to white and all is good.

But then they wouldn't be able to sell Husker plates.

My concern is that the image of the sower might cause Nebraskans to get rear-ended from certain out-of-staters.

Would you support that image being removed from the Nebraska Capitol building?

IIRC that picture has a very important thing COLOR. This cartoon drawing without differing colors just leaves way too much to the imagination. I get that it is on top of the Capitol building and all, that I don't have a problem with. The problem I have is it is plain, boring, doesn't do anything but reinforce stereotypes of this state, and in lacking of color looks like a male porn star.

Who makes license plates?
Do prisoners in the United States of America still make them or do Chinese convicts?

The old one with the urban skyline and then Chimney Rock was great. Optionally an urban skyline (Lincoln or Omaha) then a Sandhills windmill scene would seem appropriate. The Sower needs to stay on the capitol building.
