New Mississippi car tag design doesn't suck...
- Thread starter Maroon Eagle
- Start date
A little plain, but it looks OK. Big improvement over the plates that look like we've all been driving in the mud for weeks.
My favorite was the one with the trees in the background.
I miss the one with the lighthouse from around 2010
Edit: did some research and found this website http://www.worldlicenseplates.com/usa/US_MSXX.html
We had a good run from 1998-2011 and even the 2012-19 license looked solid

The blackout tags look good to me.
beats the crap out of the dirt road tag we've had for the last little while. always looks like it's dirty and you've been traveling on a dirt road
Only tags we run are these. That and I helped design it.

I thought the new tags were black. Are those just specialty tags?
This design is just meh, but I don't know what we are supposed to expect from a thin piece of metal made by the government. The funny part is that Tate made it look like it's some creative masterpiece, when in reality its a white canvas with a magnolia flower in the middle. What a goober.
You couldn't sneak in an M over S on the barn or silo? At the very least a Peeping Croom in the tractor?
Anyone else remember putting a walking bulldog sticker in between the numbers and letters? It seemed like every student on campus in the late 80's did that.
A lot. Here is a link to all that are offered although I didn't see the black plate probably because it's new. The money raised by the black plate goes to law enforcement. Not sure if that is state law enforcement or if local jurisdictions receive any of that money.

I think it only takes 300 preorders if you want to create a new specialty plate. I'm thinking there are probably enough posters on here that we could create a sixpack specialty plate. Money could go to buy Dawgstudent another tv.
You can basically get one for any college and organization imaginable in the state, even some high schools

Speaking of car tags - how is it that some people with new cars get the old M-state logo? Anyone gotten stuck with one of those lately?
My car is over 10 years old, and got the more updated logo when we bought the car new. But I'll see brand new vehicles that have the croom era M-state logo. I'd turn the tag back in if they tried to give me one of those. Surely they aren't making new tags with a logo that was retired 15 years ago.

Specialty plates and registrations can transfer over to other vehicles in Mississippi.
Amazing. I suppose that it must make money or they wouldn't do it. I think there are something like 400+ in Alabama. Sounds like way too many.
Our primary standard tag is pretty much the same color as the Mississippi "mud" plate, which doesn't seem like a good thing for neighboring states. When they were first announced a couple years ago, they had an orange background but they turned out to be light yellow.
M over S tag with maroon background is for the 2021 Baseball National Championship.
The number varies in Alabama, but after they finally approved out-of-state college plates (apparently was a lot of objection from UAT and Auburn), there were supposed to be 1000 paid orders before they'd issue them. MSU eventually got the 1000, and the next thing you know Ole Miss has one too - and at the time they only had about 400. I don't think they have 1000 to this day.
Was just told anyone found not having this tag on your car will be blocked from posting here in the future
Somewhere in the low thousands, I think. ** Coming from Texas , I was shocked at the number of plates on the road. Someone needs to get a life.
A Peeping Croom looking out the barn window would be epic.
I came really close to getting one the other day. I just couldn’t be that guy.
No reason to have the 4th number. With 3 letters and 3 numbers, that's over 17 million unique tag numbers. In a state with only about 2 million vehicles. I think we'll survive with 3 letters and 3 numbers, just like we have for most of the last 50 years.
My car tag has the digits 1734 so there’s a chance I could become a mod… **
one of my previous tags had the letters LFL. I’d always forget my wife’s tag number, but left field lounge was easy to remember.
Because you have to order a new plate to get the new logo. Or you can just keep the same plate year after year if you choose to, which those folks must have done.
These are two MS specialty tags. The top one with Dolphins makes sense for the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies.
However, the second one I am not sure about. Last time I checked a Shark is NOT a mammal.
Maybe in this modern science, Sharks can identify as Dolphins.

Not sure I would want the shark plate. Folk might confuse me with Ole Miss.
My daughter and I dubbed the new plate as the "generic MS plate". Reminds me of the old generic labeling that went on for awhile.
One wonders if it's intentional to get the upsell to other plates
