TAMPA, Fla. (Aug. 1, 2018) – For the first time in nearly 15 years, drivers around the state who support the University of South °®¶¹´«Ã½ will have a new look for their license plates.
Drivers will immediately notice °®¶¹´«Ã½â€™s new plates are green, as opposed to the primarily white design of the old plates, with a larger Bulls logo on the left side and the school’s name printed in gold at the bottom.
The launch of the updated design coincides with °®¶¹´«Ã½â€™s recent historic designation as a Preeminent State Research University, representing a new era for students, faculty, staff and alumni.
The new design aims to build on the approximately 15,000 drivers who currently have °®¶¹´«Ã½ specialty plates. For each purchase, °®¶¹´«Ã½ receives $25 to support scholarships, student programs and other alumni engagement activities.
"Adopting a new °®¶¹´«Ã½ license plate is one more way to showcase our Bull pride, all while providing more resources to benefit students," °®¶¹´«Ã½ System President Judy Genshaft said. "The University of South °®¶¹´«Ã½ is fortunate to have the support of so many alumni, fans and friends across the state of °®¶¹´«Ã½."
This is the first time °®¶¹´«Ã½ has offered a new license plate design since April 2004.
The new plates will be available in all tax offices across °®¶¹´«Ã½ in August, however exact dates will vary by location.
