The possibilities are endless. Consider:

  • LAWNIE
  • MDBOWL
  • GRNDS
  • CORNER
  • RROAD

Any-HOO … the plates start at $25 annually and once 1,000 are sold, $15 of the $25 fee goes to student-athlete scholarships at UVA.

If you live out-of-state or already have a Virginia plate you can’t part with, not to worry. Hoos fans can also buy souvenir plates with the new design for ornamental display.

“What better way for Hoos throughout the commonwealth to show their school spirit and support UVA students?” said Katie Dittmer, 鶹ƽ new director of licensing.
