Texas basic plate has been attractive until a few years ago when for reasons of which I am unsure became a BLAND white background with black lettering. Now the vanity plates are really good. TX does something I have not seen elsewhere, i.e. have plates for Universities OUTSIDE of the state, like Auburn, Oklahoma, LSU, Notre Dame and the University of GA.
My favorite Texas vanity plate is the all black look with white lettering. It just looks cool.

That's understandable. And the ridiculous thing about the black and white plates is the fact that the lower the number, the higher the price for them, since they're in limited supply. It's the weirdest status symbol that I've ever encountered in my life, where people pay hundreds of thousands for a license plate. The news actually reports on when these things go on sale lol.
"The numbers 1, 2 and 3 are reserved for the governor, lieutenant governor and secretary of state. The No. 6 was bought in February 2008 by real estate developer and philanthropist Anthony N. Fusco, who paid $675,000 — still the record for highest paid. The same family paid $185,000 at a 1993 auction for No. 9."
"A five-digit tag can sell between $500 and $1,000, Emmert said. Three-digit tags can stretch the $4,000 to $10,000 range, and two-digit plates are worth anywhere between $125,000 and $350,000."
"A one-digit plate – only seven are available to the public – is a $1 million investment."

This had something to do with the cops not being able to read the letters on the plates so the DPS switched it the the old school version.

Many states offer plates for universities outside their state. For example, in Virginia, you can order plates with the following college logos: Clemson (SC), Duke (NC), Florida State, Georgetown (DC), Ohio State, Penn State, Rutgers (NJ), Texas A&M, Univ. of Maryland, U of Michigan, West Virginia U, among others.
All you have to do is sponser a plate and get a certain number of people to agree to order that plate, and voila, you have a plate with that group on it. It doesn't matter that the group logo is from out of state.
Pennsylvania offers U. of Wisconsin plates, Virginia Tech plates, Notre Dame plates, Arizona State plates, etc.
North Carolina offers Clemson, Georgia Tech, Penn State, etc.

Many states offer this.
I do know Indiana is a state that does not offer out-of-state school plates.
