I also don't see how that "stays true to the identity of the state".
I assume the red color it evoking the 'Big Apple' nickname for New York City. That, plus the skyline overlay makes it clear that this is a "New York City" license plate, not a New York State license plate (despite the fact that ~85% of vehicles registered in the state are registered outside NYC)
EDIT: I'm not currently able to reply to the child comments (which seems odd, as they're not that deep...), but it does appear I did misremember slightly. The actual percentage is closer to 80%.
10.9 million vehicles in total, 2 million in NYC.

- bhandziuk 12y agoThat can't be true, can it? The population of the state ~19 million and the population of NYC is ~8.5 million.
- drcoopster 12y agoYou don't need a car if you live in NYC, but you do need a car if you're outside the city.
- vibrolax 12y agoIt could be true considering the availability of public transit and the high expense of parking a car in NYC.
- cpfohl 12y agoWho drives in NYC!? We NYS-ers drive everywhere, because it's a massive state with a lot of open space between the interesting things.
- bhandziuk 12y ago(I can't comment on child comments either) I didn't realize it was THAT imbalanced. Also, who are the two farm vehicles registered in NY county?
