Apologies if this has been discussed here before, but I noticed one of these in Lexington today. I LOL’d. The state of Kentucky would never dream of doing something like this. Just shows the massive influence of BBN that somebody got this done.
OT: The state of Tennessee has a UK license plate

I had to look this up.
tn.gov
Edit: it's really annoying that images from gov sites aren't allowed. The link above will take you to the page with the plate, though.

Not the only state that has them. My cousin lived in Virginia before moving back home after a divorce and they had UK plates. I think it's something to do with alumni associations requesting them and getting signatures on a "petition"
I helped North Carolina get UK plates about 15 years ago. Was rewarded with a really low # (you can see in my profile pic).
I had a buddy who used to live in the suburbs of Memphis who had one on his truck. He said he was a popular fellow.
I like the TN one better than the one we have here in GA (except for the nasty word at the top of the TN one).
Florida has had all the major D1 schools available since at least 2000....along with virtually every other topic u can think of....Autism, Fish, Breast Cancer, Etc....they have to have at least 150 to choose from
Not that surprising, the states that do this keep all the Revenue for their program of choice.
Anything to make a buck.
Thanks for your efforts......... and here I was being proud that I had number 0175!
If I recall, didn't the process in NC involve securing 300 prepaid orders before they would produce them?
I love my UK plate here in the great state of Kentucky. I love Tennessee's though because they actually have the Wildcat.
Yeh.. been sporting that bad boy for a looooooong time now 👌
It's something like that. I lived in Virginia about a decade. If I'm not mistaken, it doesn't have to be alumni, I don't think. I think you have to have a certain amount of people on a type of waiting list (possibly pre-pay) before they print of run of team plates. I don't think they had hit that when I left in 2016. But, yes, it's something along those lines.
0107 and 0108 here, those were good times. I think we got to 300 as we were winning #8.
Tennessee has plates for a lot of schools, not only UK. Smart move by them because it’s easy money.
Not sure why they don’t have them in Texas… looks like they have umich, Alabama, Georgia Oklahoma auburn Nebraska etc but no UK. I guess they have to be sponsored
I'm sorry if I phrased that wrong. I didn't mean you had to be an alum just that the alumni association requested that a UK plate was made available and got a petition signed. Anyone can purchase them regardless of if you were an alum. Hope that doesn't make it more misunderstood !! 🤣
Yes, NC required 300 pre-paid orders.
My involvement was, once the Triangle and Charlotte UKAA chapters had about 350-400 pledged to buy a plate (expecting some wouldn't follow-thru) I was one of 5 who called those 400 (so about 80 each of us) people and got them to mail in their check and completed application form.
I got the 0013, and my (now Ex)-wife got 0012.
A few years later when my oldest kid got a (used) car & a UK plate, simply by chance he got the 4-digit # that was his DOB (Mo/Day).
I do know now there are over 1100 UK plates in NC.
When I moved here in 1994 ... shortly after I signed a petition, and I got one of the first 150 plates. I have since had several different ones.
I currently have NC8 now.

"University of Kentucky (UK) license plates are available in Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Georgia. Additionally, the UK Alumni Association is working to establish plate options in Ohio and Virginia. In Virginia, a minimum of 350 prepaid applications are needed before a plate is issued, according to the University of Kentucky Alumni Association. "
