When I moved to slc and started job at the U I took off my Y sticker. I had just

bought a byu alumni license plate border after having graduated but decided not to put it on my car.
Most Ute fans wouldn’t do anything…but I’m not risking being a target at some future date when someone is pissed off at Mormons and wants to take out their anger

Why would I pay extra for a personalized license plate? They are free

Just think how much $$ the state could make if it issued a “PAC12” plate?!?

Conversely, ute fans know they have nothing to fear from BYU fans.

Fun fact… the prisoners making all of the plates are also Utes fans.
