These Are The Dumbest License Plate Designs In Your State

License plates just should not be this controversial, but alas, that is not the world we live in. Apparently, even small pieces of stamped metal with writing on them can elicit strong reactions from just about everyone. Who am I to judge, though? I’m guilty of it too. There are some dumbass license plate decisions out there, and I want to complain about them. Anyway, this thinking led us to our question from last week.

We wanted to know what was the dumbest-looking license plate in the state you call home. There are some wild answers. As it turns out, there are some very racist license plate designs out there. There are also anti-abortion plates. Who knew? This is America, after all. We’ve got some great (read: not great) stuff from all over the country, too.

Well, that’s enough of me blathering. Why don’t we all take a cross-country tour of our dumbest license plates. Be warned, there’s a lot of cringe and Big Boomer Energy on this list. If you like any of these, please reconsider your life choices, because that is just tragic.

This one, mainly because you should never have a web address on a license plate

Having a web address is dumb. Having a web address that links to a gambling website in the Philippines is exquisite.

Because why not have the government still being okay with issuing plates with the stars and bars in the 21st century.

Honorable mention to the Don’t Tread on Me Gadsden Flag plate, it looks fine, but it identifies the owner as a financial supporter of Roy Moore as he is who profits off of it (technically his foundation but it’s a family operation).

We, as a country, have completely lost the plot. It’s a damn shame.

These fucks, right here... I’m sorry but this bullshit has no place on a license plate. Save the whales, support the troops, breast cancer awareness, all fine... This, however, is not.

Anyone with this license plate is also a Celtics/Red Sox/Patriots fan. You cannot expect much from them.

I don’t think any of our plates here in MN are really dumb looking. However, one of our critical habitat plates does have a stupid color. It clashes with basically every car color you could put it on.

Don’t judge me, but I actually kind of like how this one looks.

It’s an ugly plate, supporting a terrible team, in a repugnant city, in a shitshow of a Province.

You seem very angry. I really respect it. My sports franchises also bring out the same sort of hate in me, so I get it.

The worse tag is the PA train heritage tag. I had one a long time ago, it was impossible to read, as the letters wore down fast, and blended with the rest of the tag. It was great for the speed cameras in Washington, DC.

Maybe it’s because trains rock, but I really like this plate. The fact you can get by D.C. speed cameras is just an added bonus.

Be a B-J shill? Really?

Mecum supremacy! Jokes aside, that is so corny. C’mon now, Arizona. I have to assume you’re better than this.

Virginia is not to bad on plates. They have some odd ones like a joyful one for kicking diabetes. They have a “Sons of confederate Veterans” plate, but no stars and bars on it, just a ghosted profile of Stonewall Jackson and probably Lee. They do have a General Lee picture plate though.

This guy is literally one of the biggest losers in history. Why would you want to see his dumb-ass loser face on a plate?

Um, this is good, actually. Also, respect to you for not saying anything and just posting the image.

We have a few, but the dumbest is probably this one. I can’t even figure out what it’s supposed to mean. Environmental sustainability through overpriced back rubs? I genuinely don’t know.

This is one of the most unhinged plates I’ve ever seen. I think I love it.

The best is the Delaware historic tag. It’s the only tag smaller then standard. Plus, it gets more valuable each year.

It looks so stupid on every car. I don’t get why folks from Delaware like this little shit.

Late to the game, but I’ll nominate the best/worst plate in Ohio

Yes, I have it on my van.

I am setting up a residence in Ohio just so I can get this plate. It fucks.

Still not as annoying as the pro life plates

You’re very much correct. These are not as bad as anti-abortion plates. That being said, these are still rather horrible. Play a real sport, please.

As if being a Panthers fan wasn’t embarrassing enough. Good lord, who would buy this. Oh my God. I just realized it says CP. Please, stop this.

This one, at any distance greater than 3 feet, looks like you’re lighting a flag on fire, and using it to douse an eagle! Every time we see one (and believe me, it’s a lot) we sing “This country’s on fiiiiIIiiiire” to the tune of “Girl on Fire” by Alicia Keys.

I can literally hear a bald eagle screeching right now. They should have put this plate on the back of the Camaro that raced in Le Mans.
