Found this article on Yahoo and thought it was interesting, especially the Utah examples:

Other states are less permissive. Utah, which faced a lawsuit in the 1990s for issuing plates with the term "Redskins" because it offended Native Americans, has recently denied ‘IH8TBYU,' ‘MNKYBUM,' and ‘MYSHRAZ' for being derogatory, vulgar, and an alcohol reference to a popular wine.

This is one picture they show that I seriously can't decipher the meaning of, anyone have any ideas?

Our 1947 Woody (referring to the wood side panels). I guess someone could take it to mean we have a 47mm erection... just saying.
 
"Utah, which faced a lawsuit in the 1990s for issuing plates with the term "Redskins" because it offended Native Americans"

Anyone want to bet that the person submitting the complaint is not even Native American? So what happens if I get a Yllowskin plate and I'm the driver. What would people say?

I'd laugh
 
I'm not surprised about Utah being mentioned in that article. Wasn't it just several years ago that someone had their Merlot plate taken away because it's a type of wine and someone complained about it? It's funny that Merlot would be banned when I say one a little while back that said Fetish.
 
On a separate note related to license plates, wouldn't it be cool if Utah had a license plate with a Jazz logo? You can get a license plate with the Braves logo in GA: https://www.cbsatlanta.com/story/17160539/georgia-gets-atlanta-braves-license-plates

Edit: They have them in FL (https://www.flasports.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=105&Itemid=85) and IL (https://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/news/2012/march/120326d1.pdf). And probably other places. It seems like an easy way to raise some extra money for charity or education. I need to get a hold of my local representative.
 
My BYU plate that I ordered that said, "UTSUX" was rejected. I knew it would be, but I had to try.
 
My co-worker's husband is Italian and his (Utah) license plate is "THEWOP". But "Redskins" is off limits.
 
Don't be stupid about it. How about Pho Qutes. Essentially, it's Pho Cuties, (like me) or **** YOU UTES. Win/Win.

I'm good at stupid. It's easy to be sneaky, much more difficult to make stupid work .. it's like a sport.
