Overview
- WisDOT introduced a modern all-black Blackout plate with white characters and a Retro Butter design inspired by 1970s Wisconsin plates.
- Plates will be available online, at most DMVs, through participating dealers, and via third-party vendors that stock Wisconsin plates.
- Serial numbering will start at ZAA 1001 for Blackout plates and YAA 1001 for Retro Butter plates.
- WisDOT Secretary Kristina Boardman described the Blackout look as a simple, clean option that has proven popular in neighboring states.
- Boardman said the team focused on the right shade of yellow for Retro Butter and noted she plans to order one.
