Which one is it

I've seen 2 different plates in this thread alone

[crouchingliger]

Sorry, posted the wrong picture initially.

[LIL_WAYNE_4_PREZIDENT08]

Well I like the second one better anyway

[Kerry]

The second one is even better than first. It is like looking through the Ford Center designs. Each one just gets better.

[crouchingliger]

Here are the others that were being considered, apparently:

[Kerry]

They should do all 7.

[metro]

Is #1 the final design or what? When are they rolling them out or have they already?

[roboticbrad]

I like it.

Oklahoma's New Plate Has Been Selected;
License Plate Number Retention Available

A new license plate for the State of Oklahoma has been selected!
Below is the new plate design that will replace all Oklahoma regulation license plates beginning January 2, 2009. The new plate features the Sacred Rain Arrow sculpture by Oklahoma artist Allan Houser (1914-1994).

Note: Special license plates that have designs unique to that plate type will not be affected by this redesign.

For Oklahoma motorists who want to retain their existing plate number, the 2008 License Plate Number Retention Program has been established. If your vehicle is currently registered in the State of Oklahoma, you have the option to retain your current plate number on the new plate being released in 2009.

Oklahomans who do not participate in the Plate Retention Program will receive the new plate at the time of initial registration or renewal of a current plate in calendar year 2009 at no additional cost.

The License Plate Retention Program is a limited time offer. You only have until November 1, 2008 to request your plate number retention. Once your retention request has been received along with payment, your new plate will be manufactured and mailed to you after January 1, 2009.

The cost of duplicating your existing plate number in the new plate design is $17.00. This includes the $15.00 retention fee plus a $2.00 mailing fee. These fees are in addition to any registration fees due at the time of the vehicle renewal.

The new plate may be displayed only on the vehicle that currently displays the license plate number being requested. It is intended as a replacement for that former plate and only for that vehicle. For the new plate to be mailed out in January, the vehicle must be currently registered. This means the vehicle must already have been registered for 2009 and display the 2009 registration decal.

I preferred #2 and thought that was the one that was chosen...

[solitude]

I really like the plate. The design with the sculpture and sky on the left, instead of centered, is something different for Oklahoma. I like it.

[John]

Guess I'll get another custom plate.

Not a fan, except for the font Oklahoma is in.

I liked the Will Rogers one, or the roping one best.

[JWil]

I HATE the new plate. It's horrible. Where's the state color? (Green) And I'm a big fan of the Indian Shield... wish they could have just updated that somehow.

Anyway, I won't have that plate on my car. It'll be in the trunk. Instead, I think I'll get this:



Or maybe they'll do an OKC Thunder plate. That would rock. They do for NASCAR so they better have an NBA plate.

[MsProudSooner]

I like it. I was tired of the green.

[OKCTalker]

When did license plates become bumper stickers? How many plate choices do we now have? Anybody know?

[jsibelius]

'S okay. I think the dream catcher thingy was more distinctive, but I don't hate this one. When I was in South Carolina, they had this yellow bird on theirs. I hated that one. I decided I was going to stay a Texas resident. Then I just moved back to Texas and made it official. Better all around.

I rather like the Native America slogan. Certainly better than "Oklahoma is OK." It's actually a good slogan and the state should really make good use of it. Come to think of it, they have been. Have you seen the Oklahoma tourism ads? Compared to the Kansas tourism ads? Ugh! The Kansas ads wouldn't be half bad if they had better music but ours are way better.

[JWil]

Oh our ads are WAY better than Kansas ads. Those are horrible.

"Hey look... a mall... a park... another mall... some underground cave... a mall!"

Yeah, that place sucks. Ours are better. But we need to air them OUTSIDE of Oklahoma. haha

[bornhere]

I didn't know anything about this. I think they all look great. I wish they had come up with a way to let each car owner choose his or her preferred design.

[mecarr]

I actually like the new license plate.

[CuatrodeMayo]

The chosen one looks like bad photoshop.

#2 is classy.

[Thunder]

I don't like the sound of Native America. It just doesn't sound right.

I can just get the white tape, put over it, and write my own phrase. lol
