Oh, I do like New York State's new retro-inspired license plates
![]()
The new, New York license plates are now available, with the old, blue and white plates being replaced by blue and gold plates.
Of course, like many things in New York State, the new plates come with a higher price tag.
The new plates are part of Governor Paterson's proposal to make money and combat the state's multi-billion dollar budget deficit.
The license plate fee is double what it used to be. It will now cost $20 to keep your old license plate number and $25 to get a new one.

I hated when New York switched over to the plain vanilla blue and white plates so it's nice to see them back to using something that looks like it's out of my child hood.
