New Blackout and Retro license plates now available in Wisconsin

Wisconsin Retro & Black Out License Plates

MADISON, Wis. – Wisconsin’s newest state license plates, a Blackout design and a Retro butter yellow design, are now available for purchase at most DMVs.

In making the announcement Gov. Tony Evers said, “I’m really jazzed folks will start seeing these new plates out on our roads that really showcase our proud Wisconsin heritage and style while also helping us continue our work fixing the darn roads across our state—it’s a win-win for Wisconsin.”

The two new specialty license plates are estimated to generate more than $25 million for the state’s transportation fund in the first three years.

The new Blackout plate features an all-black background with white letters, numbers, and outline.

The Retro yellow or “butter” license plate harkens back to the 1970s, featuring the familiar black letters on a sharp, yellow background.
