Why do I feel like #1 is already an option?
Because it's a copy of Maryland's VT plate
I thought the same thing about #2. I think that one is already available but the only difference is that the seal is in the middle of the plate. #3 is the most different from what is already available so that would get my vote. I guess Horse on a Treadmill just missed the cut.
EDIT: So I looked on DMV's site and the 3 that are currently available are the VT with "Go Hokies", the school seal in the middle, and the pillar logo with "Go Hokies."
The one with the seal also says "Tech" at the bottom (or one of them does).
I don't think it's Maryland, I'd remember that. Maybe I'm confusing the HokieBird with the "VT" one.
I *just* got a new VT vanity plate.

Hahaha me too. Have to wait like 2 years for a new one. Love #3
PSA: if you live in SC please write your state legislators to get them to approve the VT license plates.
I was just looking into this today. Am I reading this wrong? It just needs to be approved by the Gov. Haley?
The last update was January 2016, HB4578
(Text matches printed bills. Document has been reformatted to meet World Wide Web specifications.)
A BILL
TO AMEND THE CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, BY ADDING ARTICLE 138 TO CHAPTER 3, TITLE 56 SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES MAY ISSUE VIRGINIA TECH SPECIAL LICENSE PLATES.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. Chapter 3, Title 56 of the 1976 Code is amended by adding:
"Article 138
Virginia Tech Special License Plates
Section 56-3-13810. (A) The Department of Motor Vehicles may issue 'Virginia Tech' special license plates to owners of private passenger carrying motor vehicles as defined in Section 56-3-630, and motorcycles as defined in Section 56-3-20, registered in their names. The fee for each special license plate is seventy dollars every two years in addition to the regular motor vehicle license fee set forth in Article 5, Chapter 3 of this title. Each special license plate must be of the same size and general design of regular motor vehicle license plates. Each special license plate must be issued or revalidated for a biennial period which expires twenty-four months from the month the special license plate is issued.
(B) The fees collected pursuant to the cost of producing the license plates must be distributed to the South Carolina Palmetto Chapter of Virginia Tech.
(C) The guidelines for the production, collection, and distribution of fees for a special license plate under this section must meet the requirements of Section 56-3-8100."
SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
Well glad to see the local VT chapters are keeping us informed of the progress. /s happy to see this.
Psh. There's clearly a superior choice here.
OT:Ok I am having all kind of posting problems here. Gifs don't load, never could get a picture to load how do I do that?

Find your image online. Make sure you copy the URL address of just the image itself (you can right click on the image and select "copy image address". Then, go to the comment box you type in to post a comment. Above the box are 9 little icons. Click the first to post an image (it looks like mountains and a sun). Paste the URL address of your image in the box that says "URL". Click insert. And with that...
Thanks ashore. I will give it another try.
Is it too much to ask to have the 'Virginia' be in Maroon on Tech plates. It looks odd otherwise.
I am not ok with "Virginia" being in blue.
Foghorn leghorn can eat me. School seal for life.
Why can't we get one with a Hokie stone background? Or the old Fightin' Gobbler logo?
This is the VT plate in North Carolina. The "V" is set and then you choose up to 4 characters. Currently available: VTTKP, VICK7, VTMAN, and VTWMN. Someone wisely took VTDBU.
I took VJEEP for my Wrangler, although that's soon to become a garage wall ornament.
Any design but this! LMAO! I bet this was pulled by DMV.
Thanks Musky. Needed that.
C... A... B
Fire emojis!
Are they gonna let me get one in Wyoming?
GRRR Georgia doesn't have a VT license plate. We have every SEC school, plus Clemson, FSU, GT, Texas, and maybe a few others. How does one go about petitioning state for this?
