According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, enough UF fans in Georgia expressed interest in license plates bearing the Gator mascot that the state’s Department of Motor Vehicles is now offering UF plates.

A thousand Florida fans said they’d be willing to pay the $25 extra for the Gator plates, the paper reported. Apparently they’d tried in the past, but were never able to gain enough support. That changed after the Gators won a national championship in basketball in 2006 and followed that with a football championship.
