U2 License Plates

[U2BROTHR]

I've had similar problems with mine.

Yeah...My wife got mine for my birthday. I wanted something that would politely refer to the fact that I'm black....and a U2 fan. So I went for U2BROTHR. When my wife had to complete the form, it stated clearly that license plates cannot be religious, racist, sexist, or inappropriate in anyway. So she filled out the form stating that U2 was the band....and "Brother" meaning a friend of the band. So I guess I got away with one there. Any mention of race would not be allowed.

The kicker was....I'd drive around Toronto and folks would yell out "Yeah man....or hell ya!" to me. Found out that a lot of people think "U2BROTHR" means "up yours"....or "Fuck you"....or "You as well!"

My wife suggested that I help clarify it a bit so I have an Achtung Baby decal on the rear window.

Worst ever....while in Raleigh.....while wearing the license plate around my neck......an American security guard at the stadium said,

"ONTARIO.......what state is that?!?!?"

Just approaching the Elevation tour, I heard about fans getting their personal plates ripped from their cars; I went into action and these are the bolts that I've used to keep my license plates on my car...

it stated clearly that license plates cannot be religious, racist, sexist, or inappropriate in anyway.

So "U2 HONKY" would be out, then?





Actually, I'm going with this for my "turning 40 midlife crisis" bike:

"U2BADBOY"

Pretty much speaks for itself in about a billion ways...for me...

 

[Sicy]

No, I meant I liked the original intent... It was clever.

Ohh ok. Yeah, only real U2 fans got it though so it got annoying.



I tried to get U2 MOFO first and they denied it! I said it was a song but they took it as foul language.

That is on my list also..have you considered substituting the "O"s with zeroes? Might just slip under the radar....

Now I has a huge sad.
Please, please, please (!!!) believe me when I say that not all of us (which includes somes natives besides myself) are that flippin' ignorant!!!

 

[U2BROTHR]

One person suggested I get U2BROTHA...

I didn't like the way that looked.

OK--here's an actual pic of my plate:

I would have just said back to him: "The new one."

You Americans have interesting plates... in the UK we have pretty dismal (and formal) ones.

I want U2 LAJ for mine.

 

[U2BROTHR]

So "U2 HONKY" would be out, then?

Dude...you didn't have to go there....

Welcome to the United States of America.

I used tone have one with "Romi U2." A couple of years ago I decided to save money and go plain again.

Mark has the best U2 plate ever, hands down, imo.

And a great supportive wife, to boot. Ever seen his U2 Shrine? That's true love there, folks.

Damn you Americans. This is totally not possible in my country (not that I have a car yet ).

But those license plates are all really cool!

 

[secretly alone]

This is mine...

Because when I got the car for my 17th birthday, I was majorly obsessed with that song
Also, it's a little hard to find something that ISN'T taken in NY. I wrote up a whole list.

 

[bonocomet]

I like it

 

[bort269]

here's mine

for as long as I can remember I would always write U2RULES on everything.
It's my username on U2.com, I bought the domain name u2rules.com, I even got the phone number!

But I grew up in California and my whole life I wanted to get U2RULES for my plates but it was taken... and then last year I moved to Seattle:
