Finally, Utah's new retro black specialty license plate hits the streets

Two years ago, we spoke to Marc Briggs — a car owner frustrated he could not get a Utah specialty plate with a retro black look for his pickup truck.

I think they look pretty cool. What do you guys think?

    Me too.

    It’s funny-- I grew up in Iowa, which was one of the last states to get modern looking license plates (with pictures and multiple colors, etc.). I always thought that the unber basic plates projected a feeling of being from a backwater that couldn’t afford or couldn’t understand modernity.

    Now, those plates look almost like stupid state advertising or pandering, and the basic plates (esp. white on black, black on white, or California’s yellow on black) look retro and badass. Material Design and all that.

    I guess I’m just old enough to see the old look new again.

      That is such a great analogy.
