Due for a Change

Out with the old...


Albertans have had the same license plate for more than 20 years. My 1993 version is sure showing its age which could be a good thing (avoiding photo radar and red light camera's)as it is getting hard to read. Not to mention that the many layers of "year labels" is starting to get a bit much.

Looks like we shall be getting a new design in the next year or two as the province is quickly running out of numbers to put on the existing plates. I thought I would take a trip back trough time to see what our current plates have evolved from. Not very impressive if you ask me. So based on what Rick Bell had to say in his article over at the Edmonton Sun today, I came up with this design, which does keep the wild rose in its current place. Basically my design is the 1973 version which uses the provincial colors, combined with the 1984 version, and changed out the "wild rose country" for the provinces actual motto of Strong and Free.

In with the new?




What do you think?

Looks good, but I tend to be a little more controversial, like "Freeze those Eastern Bastards in the dark." ... but that's just me.

Something tells me that "Freeze those Eastern Bastards in the dark." won't fit on the plate in a manner that it would be visible... lol

It might be visible if you made the plates bigger... 8^D

But then they would not fit in the little space they provide on every car made for the north American market. What a conundrum...
