Why Rank License Plates?

At Aceable, we help people every day get their driver licenses , so indirectly we help them get their license plates, too. Look at it this way: You can't legally cruise down the coast reppin' that Sunshine State plate without a valid driver license. Basically, Aceable is here to make your dreams of having a vanity plate with the phrase "2HOT4U" come true. Okay, please don't get  that .

Jokes aside, license plates are a source of pride for many drivers. Some people choose to get plates that represent their alma mater, while others opt for ones that support a cause. Most people, however, stick to the standard license plate of their home state, which vary as widely in design as the states themselves. We decided to rank all 50 license plates from worst to best because what's more fun than being able to say your state is better than another at something?

Where does your home state rank on our list? Find out below.

 P.S. Major props to Mike from PlateShack for letting us use these images!

50. Louisiana

 PlateShack.com

Louisiana used to have a cool pelican on its license plate and then this boring-ness happened. The plate is supposed to commemorate the Battle of New Orleans, and the question is why? You could have given us Mardi Gras beads or crawfish or a creepy voo-doo doll, but no. Disappointment all around.

49. Massachusetts

 PlateShack.com

Okay, if you're gonna call yourselves 'The Spirit of America," then you need to go all out. I'm talking stars. I'm talking stripes. I'm talking George Washington riding a giant bald eagle while eating a McDouble. Step it up, Mass.

48. Michigan

 Wikipedia.com

I think that's a lake at the bottom. Weak sauce.

47. Pennsylvania

 Jordan Irazabal, PlateShack.com

What's that thing in the middle? A jar? A puzzle piece? No, wait -- it's definitely the end of an iPhone charger. That's gotta be it.

46. West Virginia

 PlateShack.com

How you gonna say that you're wild, West Virginia, and then hit us with the least wild design ever?

45. Indiana

 PlateShack.com

When you're celebrating your 200th birthday, you need to go bigger than this. Go hard or go home, Indiana.

44. Texas

 TransportationBlog.DallasNews.com

Texas is apparently going with the minimalistic theme, which is very out of character. At least it has the lone star and state silhouette. I expect the redesign to be Pee-wee Herman's face with the words "Home of the Breakfast Taco."

43. California

 Jack McGee, PlateShack.com

Californians clearly DGAF about their license plate, and for a good reason. They're too busy harvesting kale for their gluten-free smoothies, rollerblading down boardwalks and producing every show and movie you've ever loved. This font is very California, though.

42. New Jersey

 PlateShack.com

Yellow is no one's favorite color. At least you're not last, Jersey. At least you're not last.

41. Connecticut

 GeorgePetro, PlateShack.com

I guess when your nickname is the Constitution State there's not much material to work with.

40. Virginia

 VirginiaBusiness.com

Somehow the slogan "Virginia is for Lovers" makes this license plate so much better. Where would you rather live? The state for lovers or the Constitution State?

39. Delaware

 PlateShack.com

Delaware's sole bragging right is that it was founded first. But first is the worst, second is the best, so sorry.

38. New York

 PlateShack.com

Mediocre design, but cue "Empire State of Mind" getting stuck in your head. "New Yorkkkk, concrete jungle where dreams are made of, there's nothing you can't do ... Let's hear it for New York , New York, New York." You're singing it now. I'm so sorry.

37. Kentucky

 PlateShack.com

You host a famous horse race, we get it.

36. Missouri

 PlateShack.com

You can't be the Show Me State and have a license plate this bland.

35. Montana

 PlateShack.com

I'm imagining a vintage truck driving down a dusty Montana road with this on the back. Clearly I've never been to Montana.

34. Vermont

 PlateShack.com

I bet this looks so good on your eco-friendly smart car that runs on vegetable oil.

33. Kansas

 PlateShack.com

It's artsy cause the seal is off-kilter.

32. Wisconsin

 PlateShack.com

Would be significantly improved were that wheel of cheese next to Wisconsin about three times bigger. Oh, that's not a wheel of cheese? It's a sailboat and sunset? Now I want cheese.

31. Minnesota

 PlateShack.com

I saw this and was like, what? Minnesota has 10,000 lakes? And sure enough Minnesota has more like 12,000 lakes. Lakes are fun. Minnesota must be fun. I want to go to Minnesota.

30. Alaska

 Jack McGee, PlateShack.com

Alaska is the only state that can pull off a bright yellow and purple license plate. Like, if Connecticut tried to do this? No way.

29. New Hampshire

 PlateShack.com

The words, "Live Free or Die," are really getting to me. I thought maybe it was a Jaden Smith tweet , but it's actually from a toast by a Revolutionary War general. Similar but different.

28. Maryland

 Avery Sheeting, PlateShack.com

This sort of looks like those shirts that Old Navy used to sell around the Fourth of July. You're reading this and nodding,  Yeah, I had one of those! You know you were a '90s girl if you wore one of those babies paired with jellybean sandals and denim skort. So rad.

27. Oklahoma

 Jesse Wodstrchill, PlateShack.com

The Apache warrior on Oklahoma's license plate is actually a depiction of a statue called "Sacred Rain Arrow," which has been on display at museums like the Smithsonian. Way cultured, Oklahoma.

26. Illinois

 PlateShack.com

The ghost of Lincoln saw you get into the left lane without using your turn signal. Look at those eyes. Look at them. So honest.

25. Ohio

 Wikipedia.com

Please zoom in and read all the random phrases on this plate. "Has it all" ... "State of perfect" ... "Beautiful" ... basically the same things people say about me.

24. Arkansas

 PlateShack.com

I was thinking the exact same style for my engagement ring.

23. Iowa

 PlateShack.com

It's like Little House on the Prairie up in this license plate. Does this not make you want to churn butter and listen to Pa play the fiddle? Laura Ingalls Wilder enthusiast over here.

22. Nebraska

 PlateShack.com

This looks like a painting you would find in your hotel room. Not a Monet, but still aesthetically appealing.

21. Florida

 FLHSMV.Gov

Essentially a great advertisement for orange juice because I want some right now.

20. Washington

 PlateShack.com

Slightly disappointed that the Evergreen State has no evergreens on its license plate.

19. Rhode Island

 PlateShack.com

Very nautical-chic.

18. North Carolina

 PlateShack.com

Looking at that dune grass makes me desperately wish I was in the Outer Banks. Obviously the beach-themed license plates have won me over.

17. Mississippi

 Jack McGee, PlateShack.com

Guitars and rock n' roll are all good, but you should have gone with a picture of Elvis, Mississippi. Long live the King.

16. South Dakota

 DOR.SD.gov

An iconic landmark paired with a better than average play on words. Not bad, South Dakota.

15. Idaho

 PlateShack.com

This says, we have mountainous views, but also, hash browns.

14. Alabama

 Alabama.gov

This looks like a picture of the Serengeti, but sure, I guess it's Alabama.

13. Maine

 PlateShack.com

Looking at these pines suddenly makes me feel like I'm breathing the freshest air I've ever breathed.

12. Nevada

 PlateShack.com

So many states went with the mountain range theme. You had Las Vegas to work with, Nevada. Show me Blackjack, Caesars Palace or the cast from The Hangover. The DMV would totally approve it.

11. Arizona

 PlateShack.com

Take me to the land of purple mountains and purple cacti.

10. Wyoming

 DOT.State.WY.us

Beautiful setting, cowboy silhouette -- this is basically the inspiration for Quentin Tarantino's next film.

9. North Dakota

 DOT.ND.gov

Look at that glorious sunset, regal bison and the words "Legendary North Dakota." If we've learned anything from watching Aubrey Graham become Drake it's that if you call yourself a legend, people will start caring about you. Here's hoping, North Dakota.

8. Georgia

 PlateShack.com

The Georgia peach. So simple, yet so iconic.

7. Colorado

 Colorado.gov

The Colorado license plate is like your cool, outdoorsy friend who knows how to snowboard and owns a dog named Kodiak or Gunner.

6. Tennessee

 Brandon Pennington, PlateShack.com

The mountains on this license plate can best be described with this: "Wish that I was on ol' Rocky Top, down in the Tennessee hills. Ain't no smoggy smoke on Rocky Top, ain't no telephone bills." I swear that's the opening verse to an actual song people chant at sporting events in Tennessee.

5. Utah

 Wikipedia.com

"Life Elevated." Whoa, deep.

4. Hawaii

 PlateShack.com

Hawaii's all like, "I wish I could bake a cake filled with rainbows and smiles." "

3. South Carolina

 SCDMBOnline.com

The palmetto and crescent moon symbol was designed by a war general in 1775 and now it's used for the state flag, license plate and frat shirts everywhere.

2. Oregon

 Jack McGee, PlateShack.com

Someone needs to turn this into a sundress print asap.

1. New Mexico

 Jack McGee, PlateShack.com

Was this designed by Giorgio Armani because I swear I've seen Cate Blanchett wear something similar on the red carpet. Land of Enchantment indeed.
