That’s the choice the DMV went with? A saw blade? Not a sailboat? Not a beach? A stupid saw blade replaces a wave???

I’ve had mine for a month, they’re a lot better looking!
DogGroundbreaking568 OP t1_j35g85y wrote
I wonder if people who get upset at people who voice their opinion on something realize that they could spend their time getting pissed about something that really matters.

Lol. OP isn’t wrong, but neither are you. I’m with you on this one.

The Rocky Point plate looks terrific! The Gaspee Days Committee is taking preorders for a very nice looking plate as well. They’re still short of the 600 needed to get a production run started but are going to make a push in the spring to reach that goal. I’m hopeful that they make it, because my wave plate is on its last legs and I don’t want to get stuck with the saw blade.

I like how it celebrates the St. Louis Gateway Arch

Yep. I even had hoped there’s make them a dark blue background with light lettering like the URI sign and Welcome to RI signs. Noooooope.

Guerrilla donation gathering? I kinda like that.

I think I’m just going to keep my existing wave plate forever. In due time it will be unique on the road, kinda like seeing a green and white Massachusetts plate now.

Vehicle inspection will condemn it and you will have to immediately get confirmation of a replacement - -happened to me

I remember wondering why RP copied that arch
way back when it was first installed - -

Man, I'd love for the old blue and white plates to come back.

Wait until it's "dirty" after a year and you get to buy new ones.

If you want evidence of voter fraud, look at our new license plate. You know darn well nobody voted for the saw blade.

It’s ugly I know, each wave represents the five continents.

How did you already fail an inspection for the new plate if we don’t even have the new plates yet?

The designer Willem Van Lancker had some democratic political ties. Connections are how you get things done in RI.
CoffeeHarvester t1_j39k3o9 wrote
You're probably right. I know for a fact it's exactly the mindset they'd have in Massachusetts and unfortunately RI likes to follow right behind these sort of mindsets

Plate/s were old -faded - peeling
so with the inpection mandate gun to my head
I rushed into a $40 Sailboat plate
This was around 2 years ago - -before any new available plate design
Opticalpopsicle1074 t1_j3cbo7v wrote
Oh, I see, it was falling apart. That’s a good reason to get a new one.

Think they went with the worst choice so people would opt to pay extra for one of the nice ones.
