Nebraska's New License Plate

[Mavric]

 

The sower is front and center on Nebraska's new license plates.

Unveiled Tuesday, the design for the new plates is the first ever to feature the iconic statue from atop the state Capitol — an image that is "absolutely unique" to Nebraska, Gov. Pete Ricketts said during a news conference at the statehouse.

Beginning in January, some 5.2 million of the plates will begin to replace the meadowlark-and-goldenrod models bolted to cars and trucks across the state since 2011. Those old plates should be phased out within a year.

Ricketts called the new design "beautiful."

"This brings in a lot of the themes of Nebraska and is a great way for us to brand our state," he said.

The Sower is flanked by the years 1867 and 2017 in navy blue, a nod to the state's sesquicentennial. And "NEBRASKA" is printed in gold-colored lettering across the top over a navy background, mirroring the colors on the state flag.

License plate numbers will appear in black, making them easier for law enforcement to read, Ricketts said.

I can't believe they couldn't get a better angle or illustration than that. It looks like he's choking his chicken. Sowing seed indeed.

 

Like I needed more reason to get Husker plates.

Think they could do something better for our 150th.

He looks like the man with the 132-pound scrotum

The way I see it, there's two options here.

 

1. They are too stupid to see the TREMENDOUSLY obvious implication of the Sower in that pose, with the bag RIGHT THERE.

2. They saw it and didn't care.

 

Either option is pretty sad.

 

I did some tinkering with it.

I like it. Gives the rest of the country a reason to remember us.

So, another swing and a miss with the state license plate? I get that they're trying to use the colors from the state flag...but it looks like a well-endowed man from a Michigan toga party, and not the Sower from Nebraska on that plate.
