Redesigned license plates coming for 4 Alabama universities
Supporters of four Alabama universities will soon be able to show their school pride with redesigned license plates.
According to the Alabama Department of Revenue, Samford University, University of Montevallo, The University of North Alabama, and The University of West Alabama will have newly designed license plates starting Aug. 1.
Artwork for the redesigned plates has not been released.
Three other specialty tags – Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc., Autism Acceptance and Huntsville Hospital – were also up for a refresh but opted to stay with their current design. Existing tag owners will receive new plates, however, with the updated numbering scheme and without decal pockets.
Specialty license plates generally cost an additional $50 that, in the case of the universities, mostly goes to scholarship funds.
