One of my favorite things about America is the sheer variety of license plates you’ll see out on the road. Each state has its own plate design, and then there are countless personalized plates to choose from. But did you know Florida offers more than 200 different designs?
The options on offer range from designs celebrating America’s national parks to others that show your allegiance to various sports teams or colleges. While some of these designs are pretty nice, many are just plain weird.
So we trawled through Florida’s brochure full of plate designs and picked out the weirdest options you can choose in the sunshine state.

Like the latest Mansory creation, it’s just very gauche, isn’t it?

Yes, America does have some very beautiful places, but I’m sure they’re all a solid 1,000 times prettier than this ridiculous plate.

Is it Lou Reed, is it Frankenstein? Whichever it’s meant to be, I’m pretty sure neither was from Florida.

This one just doesn’t do it for me, I can’t put a figure on why but it’s not the one.

Why didn’t they just fit the whole plane on? The outline of the C-130 along the bottom of the plate would look much better.

If I lived in the golf capital of the world, I wouldn’t want people to know I lived in the golf capital of the world. Also, doesn’t Myrtle Beach also claim to be golf capital of the world?

It’s just pretty boring, isn’t it?

I understand the appeal of military plates, but this one I just can’t wrap my head around. Unless you are a Blue Angels pilot?

In this instance, I’m just not a fan of the black background on this license plate. All Miami blue with flashes of red would look better, in my opinion.

Submarines are cool and all, but they don’t look that cool peeking out the top of a license plate, I’m sorry.

Is Florida well regarded in tennis spheres? Has it created a golden age of American tennis players? If not, why is it associating itself with the sport on license plates?

For a school or art and design, that’s not the most inspiring logo I’ve ever seen. Surely you can do better, Ringling?

I’ve seen the Yankees play the Rays three times and they’ve lost each game. That’s enough to earn this plate a spot on our list.

I just don’t trust this guy, look at his shifty little eyes.

There’s just a lot going on here, isn’t there? And why doesn’t the nice marine color palate continue all the way across the plate?
