Tennesseans picked the blue one with the state outline on top.
Tennessee Governor Bill Lee let Tennesseans pick the new standard license plate in a poll conducted last month. Two plates were blue — one with “Tennessee” printed on the top, the other with “Tennessee” printed on top inside a shape that resembles the state borders. The other two plates were identical to this but white.
More than 300,000 Tennessee residents cast a vote, with 42 percent voting for the winning design. The “in god we trust” motto is optional.
New plates will be available online and in-person beginning January 3rd, 2022 as residents complete their annual tag renewal. Up to 100,000 plates per week will be produced to meet initial inventory demands.
