Awhh…this will look so cute flapping from the back of Davey’s trike.

Florida Sports will be conducting a pre-sale of Miami Marlins Florida license plates Monday at Marlins Park. They’ll have a booth in the West Plaza.
The newly designed Marlins plate is part of the Professional Sports License Plate program. Proceeds from the additional $25 tag fee support the Marlins Community Foundation and designated youth charities, as well as the development of major and regional sports events in Florida.

1. ntr RdP Posted: March 31, 2012 at 06:27 PM (#4093905)It looks like the Marlins front office is on a major push to raise the profile of the team, between the signings this Winter and efforts such as these tags. I wonder if it's all smoke and mirrors or there really will be something on the field worth watching?
When we go on family car trips, we play the license plate game, and it's Florida vs the world. Florida always wins, usually by 70-40 or something. iPhone comes in handy for this. "Hey, there's a new one. White background, blue circle on the left with what looks like 2-3 red pennants." <checks the DMV website on the phone> "OK, Barry university."
edit: And when it comes to "Think of the Children", Florida takes a backseat to nobody. The following different plates are available:
Family First
Family Values
Parents Make a Difference
Stop Child Abuse
Kids Deserve Justice
Keep Kids Drug free
Invest in Children
I hear that by next Winter they'll have these newfangled flush toilets down in Richmond, no more outhouses for them! That's just how fast they are moving into the modern era down there.
...Invest in Children
I wonder what market inefficiencies can be exploited in children??? Hmmm...
Whatever happened to "Don't Pull That Plug"?
But what about the Baltimore Colts???
There are children in Florida?
With a bit of luck the

Well, I'd like to issue a witty retort, but Google is worthless on this issue. Google "elementary education enrollment by state", and the best you can get is a pdf from 2001. FWIW, Florida's 2001 elementary school enrollment was 4th in the country, right in line with general population rank.
Florida's not only home to a lot of retirees, but a lot of immigrants from Latin America, who tend to have a lot of children.

I think the term you're looking for might be S**TFY
**as in Supplemented
The only top-level professional sports teams WITHOUT a licence plate in Ontario are TFC (MLS) and Toronto Rock (National Lacrosse League).
Two CFL (Hamilton, Toronto), an MLB (Toronto), two NHL (Toronto, Ottawa), and an NBA (Toronto).
You can also get them for a ridiculous number of other reasons (universities, professional societies, and square dancing...I laughed when I saw that one.).
Edit: It seems bobm's link in #26 for Toronto Blue Jays takes you to the full list for Ontario.
An Isotopes license plate? Cool.
