Massachusetts License Plate Concepts

Recently I have become interested in collecting license plates from states I visit. Some states like North Dakota, Wyoming, Utah and Alabama have such beautiful plates that tell the curious viewer a bit about the state. However, my home state of Massachusetts has a boring license plate. There are no pictures or graphics just a white background. This standard passenger base plate was last changed in 1993. That means we’ve had this particular design for 27 years. We do have what are known as vanity plates, which is a special type of vehicle registration plate on an automobile. The owner of the vehicle pays extra money to have their own choice of numbers or letters, and pictures of sports team logos, and environmental trust animals. Now most states do have vanity plates but they also have some sort of picture or design on the base plate. Is it vain to want your state to have a recognizable license plate? No. That is why I decided to come up with some ideas for a new Massachusetts base license plate, one that would get a potential viewer interested in our state. Do you recognize the people and designs that are being used in each of the plates? Did any of the plates get you interested in learning more about Massachusetts? Please leave a comment below to let me know what you think.
