plates to be issued in April.
Butt ugly design, IMO.

Boring to look at for sure.
$25 for a plate? I could buy 3 for the price of my wisconsin plate.

It's $25 for two plates actually.

Very retro, though. Similar to the old plates used into the '80s,
IIRC. The gold isn't used anywhere else in the region, so it'll be
able to be spotted easier. (Guess that's what they mean that the
roads will be safer; you'll be able to spot a NY driver from further
away! :-)

And for many decades before then. Too bad the reporter and his editors must
have been born just yesterday.

The new plate avoids the clutter of the current plate while nodding to
the past. Yes, very retro, and IMHO quite striking. Thank goodness
there's no URL or silly slogan on it!

I kind of like that it's retro, although that loses its impact when most
other states have gone away from the basic two-color scheme. And the
heavy blue border at the top kind of bothers me.
At least our local parks are free...for now. In California it seems
there's a fee for every local and county park, not to mention the state
and national ones.

What was old is new again. Most states seem to be using white as a
base color these days, with a notable exception right next door to New
York - Vermont.

I'm not much of a fan of the new plates, but I'm not going to take it
up with the New York State DMV's art department. I may just get
custom New York Islanders license plates when it comes time for me to
renew.

I want to say that on Long Island, some of the county parks do charge
an admission fee. The towns on Long Island do require residency
stickers in order to park one's car at a town park. I haven't noticed
that Upstate though.
Douglas Kerr
It's $25 for two New York license plates, one for the front of the
vehicle and one for the rear of the vehicle. That is what I had
thought you were referring to.

Yes, now I recall seeing some entrance fees at LI county parks, though I
don't know whether they were levied on humans or only on vehicles, as is
the case with state parks (illegal to charge admission to those).
Michael G. Koerner
That's the annual base registration fee, regardless if you are issued new
physical plates or not.

I've seen worse, but that's just me.

Is the US$25.00 fee something that is levied every year or is it just
when you get new plates as opposed to a renewal sticker?

The $25 fee is just being levied with the new plates. There is a
registration fee that you pay every other year when you renew your
vehicle registration, and that is based on a sliding scale of vehicle
weight.

Many parks in NYS have a fee.

Probably want to keep the city people out. Other suburban parks do
that for the same reason.

Downstate, perhaps so, but I can't think of any near me...all of the

true in most (all?) Upstate counties. I've also never been charged
admission to an arts and crafts fair in New York, either....
Michael Moroney
For many decades, New York went back and forth between blue-on-gold and
gold-on-blue plates. As a kid we poked fun at New Jersey as wannabes,
at the time they had blue on a lighter yellow or a lighter yellow on blue.
That changed when NY went to blue-on-white with a red Statue of Liberty,
forget the year.

I'm happy they didn't try to rip off the new Texas passenger graphic, which
has expanded to seven characters (BB2 B222) as of late July.

That "lighter yellow" was really cream, or buff, as it is designated on the
state flag.
