The Blue Angels One Of 21 New Specialty Plates Considered In Florida

March 7, 2019

– Other Plates Under Consideration Include Alabama, Auburn and Georgia Collegiate Plates–

Sen. Doug Broxson has filed a bill new create a new Blue Angels specialty license plate, one of 21 tags that may be coming to Florida

If the bill become law, the license plate would be designed at a later date and would include the words “Home of the Blue Angels” at the bottom. The annual fees generated by the plate will benefit the Naval Aviation Museum Foundation, including the Naval Aviation Museum and the National Flight Academy in Pensacola.

There are currently 123 specialty license plates in Florida, and there are 21 under consideration this legislative session, including plates for the University of Alabama, Auburn University, University of Georgia that would benefit scholarships for out of state students. The University of Alabama plate endowment would be from the Pensacola Bama Club.

There is also a proposal that cap the number of specialty tags at 125.

Currently, every new plate must reach 1,000 presales before plates are manufactured, and any existing plate that falls below 1,000 on the road will be removed, but that requirement does not apply to college and university plates.

The top five specialty plates in Florida are the University of Florida followed by sea turtles, endless summer surfing, Florida State University and Protecting Wild Dolphins.

The University of West Florida plate is number 105 on the state’s list, with 1,303 sold last year, with 392 of those registered in Escambia County.

    Reminder — There is also a new plate that supports education – a beach scene with kids reading books under a palm tree (the sand could be whiter – but we are spoiled that way)… $20 would go, each year, to the public schools foundation in your county! Please consider that one as well next time it is time to renew your plates or you are buying and registering a new car!

    people complain about how much it cost to renew their tags each year and then they spend an extra 100 dollars for specialty tags. I do not get it.

    Although I live in Georgia,I would love to see a Blue Angels license plate.I was stationed at NAS Pensacola in the 70’s,the training squadron I was in shared a aircraft hanger with the Blue Angels.The Blue Angels flew our equipment we start our planes up with and all the mechanics got to fly on Fat Albert , their C130 .It was awesome ! I love seeing them fly and have an awesome collection of Blue Angles memorabilia at my house. Definitely produce a Blue Angels license plate !
