As some of you know I just moved to the area. Well, I was looking at NC specialized license plates to see what my Charlotte Bobcats plate would look like but I couldn't find one on the NCDOT website (https://edmv-sp.dot.state.nc.us/sp/SpecialPlates?serviceType=EXP&fM=Y).
Yet, I could find specialized plates for 'shag dancing' and 'watermelon'. Yup...a specialized plate for watermelon.
Can somebody please tell me that the Bobcats plate is simply missing from the website for some reason. The Panthers, Hurricanes, and even Durham Bulls have specialized plates.

From what I know of specialized plates, it requires that you, the organization filing for the plates, fill out a form and have a list of 200 or so people indicating they will buy said plate.
The Bobcats organization has either no interest in having a plate, or has done some research and found that there was not enough interest. My guess is the former.

NC, as well as some other states, only require a license plate on the rear of the vehicle. This leaves an open space to use a 'vanity plate' in the front, which is what you'll see on retails sites.
My wife's vehicle used to have the personalized plate RUFUSRDE, we named our dog Rufus, and he rode in the vehicle a lot. Then when day some guy waved, had me roll down the window and said..."dude, what does your plate stand for?? R U F'ed Up?" from the RUFU...anyway...now her plate reads ROLNBCAT after the Rollin' Bobcats

Thanks for the reply.
Sure is a shame if that is the case, which it probably is.
...I'm not getting a 'shag dancing' plate now, I can say that much lol
There are no Bobcat license plates because the main DMV is in Raleigh, where no one knows who the Bobcats are.
Also because that ugly ass orange logo would NOT look good on anyones car.

I just got my new plate recently and went through this same thing. I just can't believe some of the plates available.
I do not know exactly why but I can promise you that there is no Bobcats option. I ended up going with my 2nd option...PANTHERS!
Less people laugh at me this way now anyway :)

It's 350 plates....the University of Georgia is in the process of getting NC plates so I am familiar with it...

I hope I'm not the only one who doesn't give a flying F what is on my license plate.

I don't like bumper stickers or anything like that on my ride so this is an option to have a team logo somewhere cool.
I have never been one for the personalized tags where they spell something cool though so I understand where you are coming from.
Also, you only pay $10 extra for the tag and it goes primarily to highway beautification projects for things like all those pretty flowers along the interstates :)

The only pretty flower I care to look at belongs to my girlfriend, and I don't have to pay to see it ;)

Well, I can't argue with that reasoning now, can I? :)

Well they have NCSU, so not having the Bobcats is okay for me. I would roll with the Wolfpack plate personally anyways.
