There you are: driving along, blasting some tunes, when you spot something. A red-and-white license plate frame. A Motion W sticker. Does your heart start to beat a little quicker knowing that you’re sharing the road with a fellow Badger fan? Ours sure do. That’s why one WAA staffer has been making notes of the most creative UW-themed license plates she’s seen during the last 18 years or so. Here are our votes for the top eight, spotted in and around the Madison area:


Best lack of vowels


Best use of a number


gnilleps fo esu tseB (try this one in a mirror...)

Best inclusion of a female sheep


Best tradition upholder

Best nod to academia

Best use of times tables

Best use of a language other than English
