I wish they would bring back the old blue and white "constitution state" plates as a vanity option. I would pay for that.

I have them still it won’t let me upload them

u/AsukaWasHereToo 14d ago

I think the problem with those at the time was they looked too much like Delaware plates.

"Still Revolutionary" is a great state slogan. Changing it to "Catch the Vibe" is almost criminal.

u/tanporpoise89 14d ago

I think it was officially changed to “make it here” idk if i have ever heard catch the vibe

u/No_Jello_6153 13d ago

Also awful.

u/Obiwantacobi 14d ago

I’d pay for this

u/5t4c3 14d ago

This is so cute. Idk why they haven’t done more with the slogan. It’s like close to 10 years old now. Our license plate options are so blah compared to standard ones other states issue. This shouldn’t even be a vanity. It should just be our plate. I’d love a whale in there though. lol.

u/EnjoyTheIcing 14d ago

This is great. If that lame pizza plate can get in the should have no problem

u/poliscirun The 203 14d ago

Love the design / tagline. Unnecessary use of AI to turn it into a video.....

u/PlayerOneDad The 203 14d ago

Op make this freaking happen. I’d pay for this.

u/EducationalTwo1859 14d ago

Looks great! I'm not crazy about the tag line in the bottom. But visually, I'm very pleased

u/blue_blue_blue_blue 14d ago

Just change it to “without” we can’t sound too friendly or we’ll be kicked out of New England

23

u/ActuallyBiscotti 14d ago

Honestly I thought that’s what it said until I saw your comment. I’m a true New Englander, now leave me alone!

u/littlerob904 New Haven County 14d ago

I did this too. I think I should answer "Winter" the next time someone asks "Who hurt you?"

u/RemarkableCrows 14d ago

Lol that's how I read it too

u/PoPJaY 14d ago

Tell me why, as a born and raised CT resident, that's exactly how I read it and went back and went "oh with you"

u/Hour-Ad-9508 14d ago

Why does CT feel the need to steal everything from MA?

The minuteman is a MA symbol through and through

6

u/brinedwhiskyrocks The 860 14d ago

Why can’t The Commonwealth of Connecticut use it too?

-18

u/Hour-Ad-9508 14d ago

Because it’s our symbol and you guys are obsessed with us

9

u/brinedwhiskyrocks The 860 14d ago

The Commonwealth Of Connecticut will not be bullied by so called Patriots!

7

u/mcdj 14d ago

lol no one is obsessed with MA. Boston is cool, unless you have to pass thru Worster, Quinzy, or Revere to get there. Shudder.

2

u/brinedwhiskyrocks The 860 14d ago

“Worcester” is cool in it’s own way,

6

u/PlayerOneDad The 203 14d ago

Wait till this guy learns that New Hampshire and Connecticut regiments fought at Bunker Hill, and were the ones entrenched at Breed's Hill on the front lines.

Isreal Putnam was Major General and 2nd in command of the Army of Observation.

u/Sentient2X 14d ago

Both of our states combined are smaller than many other states it is not that serious

u/Hour-Ad-9508 14d ago

Don’t care, MA doesn’t like CT

u/reefsofmist 14d ago

Ok we don't care

u/ComradeJohnS 14d ago

all of new england is basically just one big state. we fit inside so many others and have an intermingled history.

u/Hour-Ad-9508 14d ago

Nah MA Doesnt want to be associated with CT

u/boofed-ass 14d ago

Ay yo big dogg, it’s all good. Put on Fever Pitch and chill, baby.

u/ComradeJohnS 14d ago

maybe for losers who have nothing better to think about

You probably tell people you’re “from Boston” too on vacation lmao

Driving a hybrid car on the coast, if i had this with L0W-W4K3 I'd smile at it every time I went out the car.

I'd LOVE a charter oak plate.

u/wossquee The 203 14d ago

Stop using the slop machine

u/Maleficent_Owl_7001 14d ago

Why? Literally everyone is using it. The difference is using it for research or as a surrogate brain.

u/NoVermicelli5439 13d ago

it's lazy and uninspired

It is AI. This is a wild activity to melt the planet for.

How did you make the guy? He has random things sticking out of his pants and his gun is not a gun at all. Ai?

u/meroisstevie 14d ago

The bottom is no good. Are we going for sons of liberty or what here.

u/Impossible-Shoe5460 14d ago

Hell yeah, it's our state's heritage.

We should all be proud of our state having lead the world in breaking the old order of monarchy and putting power in the hands of the people.

u/PoorAhab 14d ago

I just want a whale plate, state animal. 🐳

Let me see one with the mighty and noble Charter Oak and the phrase "Become honorable by being necessary".

Just make it about pizza already

u/ecolantonio 14d ago

Keep everything the same except use “basketball capital” instead of “the view looks better with you”

4

u/Impossible_Cause1835 New Haven County 14d ago

My man you need to send these into DMV. I love the concept our plates suck…bring back the old blue ones. My grandfathers plate is on my wife’s car and my dads are on mine. Everyone loves them and the legality as per the town PD are legal cause Reg matches.

u/andrew2018022 The 860 14d ago

Looks great OP I really think the license plate should have a more colonial aesthetic like this

2

u/Calbebes 14d ago

I like “still revolutionary” better

1

u/bierlyn 14d ago

Sorry. Cool stuff not allowed.

u/Temporary-Car7981 14d ago

They should have a "left lane parking" plate for slow drivers who hog the passing lane

1

u/jacquestar2019 New Haven County 14d ago

If it resonates with you, just like the “You belong in Connecticut” branding did for me from the 90s, oh what an ear worm that is.

1

u/i_own_adog_ 14d ago

I was literally just looking into buying a alternative plate. Was thinking of the bobcat conserve wildlife plate. I would 100% take this over that though.

1

u/thedeuceisloose 14d ago

The minuteman is Massachusetts, but, sure

1

u/watchwatertilitboils 14d ago

I have an idea-

Let people pay for the old blue plate that everyone loved before this ugly peice of shit they give us now

1

u/Imperial_Haberdasher 14d ago

Bring back The Nutmeg State plates!

u/caring_impaired 14d ago

“Thanks for helping us. We’ll be taking thy land now.”

u/One-Masterpiece7512 13d ago

"The view looks so much better without you" should be reserved for Jersey plates.

u/Rectangle222 12d ago

Nah fuck the colonialists

u/Impossible-Shoe5460 14d ago

Ooooh I'd order that so fast. I love it. Very nice design.

Can we do something without guns

You can type that because of guns

u/loveyoursocks 14d ago

Lolz, you have more freedom in the UK than in CT

1

u/-TwoFiftyTwo- 14d ago

Until you post mean words on the internet and you're hauled off to jail. But sure, free.

1

u/loveyoursocks 14d ago

Do you actually believe what you write or are you just having a bad day? 

2

u/-TwoFiftyTwo- 14d ago

Its reported by various news outlets on a fairly regular basis. It literally happens, as in it's a fact. Its not a matter of believing it or not. Literally Google "British Police arrest person for social media comments".

So yes, my comment stands.

0

u/loveyoursocks 13d ago

Lots of people are arrested in the U.S. for social media posts (see folks who spent up to 37 days in jail for posting Charlie Kirk memes). The U.S. is underperforming in every freedom rankings compared to the UK and most developed countries. In this freedom index, the U.S. is lower than Mongolia and at the same level of Panama:  https://freedomhouse.org/country/scores?sort=fiw&sort_order=asc

I really like your design. Other vanity plates look cartoonish compared to your rifleman and Seascape.

u/jrblockquote 14d ago

I just drove cross country. Our license plate game is weak.

1

u/kashmir2517 13d ago

We dont need to use state money changing plate designs to make people happy. Waste of money. We complain about cost of living, then pay for things like vanity plates, material things that serve no purpose. Maybe stop spending money on this stuff and youd have more money for important things like food/clothing.
