Why is the plate design changing from the white background to a red/white/blue background?
WisDOT began issuing military group license plates in 1989 with a red, white and blue background. When we began replacing these plates in July 2007, we received objections from veterans to the white background plate design, which is the standard design for most other special plates. We developed another plate design that retains more of the red/white/blue background that was present in the original plate design.
