What Will The New Idaho License Plates Look Like?

Idaho is making changes in 2025 and early 2026 to how the vehicles of its residents will look.

The change isn’t forcing everyone to go buy an electric vehicle or to curb any vehicle made in the 1980s (or anything ever made by SAAB) though that would be a great plan.

No, Idaho is adding a variety of new license plate options to their customized plate list over the next few months.

One of the plates has raised questions of racist connotations by featuring the Gadsden flag and a ‘Don’t Tread on Me’ slogan, 2 are retro potato-themed plates, a ‘Too Great For Hate’ plate, and an ‘Appeal to Heaven’ license plate option.
