Just got an email from MU. The Wisconsin "Marquette" license plates are now available.
More details: http://www.marquette.edu/about/license_plates/ (http://www.marquette.edu/about/license_plates/)
$15 bucks. Pretty reasonable.
Awesome, I couldn't find any pictures of what it looks like, are there any?
EDIT: Nm, here it is.

At least that is what was on the link Hilltopper provided...
QuoteWish they weren't so boring looking, but anything will do at this point.
also, only 6 letters?
there goes my plan for WARRI04
I guess I could always go with "ASSMAN"

Nope. There's an article in the jsonline saying that while other plates are used for fundraising, MU's aren't.
http://www.jsonline.com/newswatch/95773659.html
Rather than acting as a fundraiser, Marquette is actually paying the up-front production costs for the plate, so instead of benefiting the university it's actually costing us. But a classy move on the part of Marquette, and I suppose it also works as a bit of advertising.
Not sure I'd call it a "classy move" .. It's a marketing move. It's good to have hundreds/thousands of MU plates out there.
Unless you've got a MU plate duct taped to a rusty '87 Yugo.
It's interesting about MU picking up "up front" production costs, yet the state is charging $15. You know how much a regular set of replacement plates is? TWO BUCKS. And that's shipped to your door. With stickers.

14 years after we first started the process.....better late than never
Man, really wanted a yellow plate.
Now, if they really wanted to sell plates, market a "Marquette Warriors" edition.
I'm thinking we need some form of Warrior decal that could fix that right up.
"NIVB 43"
"NO RDNT"
"F*CK UW"
Very cool! Unfortunately it doesn't help me in Connecticut.

May be a dumb question:
But when I'm filling out the application what is the "release of personalized plates" and what did you check off??

I filled out nothing since I don't have personalized plates.
unless I read it wrong.
and if I did, I hope they call me. :-D

Definitely would be cool, but the blue (new Brewers plate) and yellow (Packers plate) have been taken...

Nicely played
To me, this is the winner below
FUBCKY

So then just go with: UWMZRO
That should be good for a lifetime.
My new AHOYA plates came today .. I didn't know they came blank .. you have to apply two MU stickers on the plate to make it look right.
So when I thought, hell, any sticker can be put on there .. just need a nice Warrior logo, laser print me up a new sticker for the plate.
Then my wife chimes in, who apparently has become politically correct behind my back, said she wouldn't drive my car if it had the Warrior sticker on there.
How she manages to sit with me at games, whilst I don Warrior sweatshirts, I know not. :-[

But I'll happily do it for you...

she'd never know and it's not YOUR fault...

"...happily do..."what?

+1 LOL
I actually received a duplicate set of my new plates about a month after I recieved the first set. I didn't order duplicates and they are exactly the same. I'm not complaining, it's just odd. I'm happy to have another (free) set. I like the Warrior logo sticker idea for my second set of plates. Does anyone know where I can get a set of Warrior logo stickers? I just might put them on if I can find them! By the way, my plates say WAR1OR. 8-) It turned out quite nicely!

Your best bet will be to find somewhere that makes custom vinyl stickers. I have no hints on that one.
