GOVERNOR SPITZER UNVEILS NEW YORK GIANTS SUPER BOWL XLII CHAMPIONS LICENSE PLATE
New Commemorative License Plate Celebrating Super Bowl Victory Available to the Public

Governor Eliot Spitzer today announced the availability of the New York Giants Super Bowl XLII Champions custom license plate for fans throughout the State. The custom plate features the NFL New York Giants’ big blue NY logo with the words “Super Bowl Champions XLII” underneath in the official Super Bowl colors of red and blue.

“What better way to celebrate the Giants fairy tale season and Super Bowl victory than by letting every driver on the road know what team you support,” said Governor Spitzer. “The Giants showed the true New York spirit: digging deep and delivering when it meant the most. We are all proud to welcome home our State’s home team as national champions and to commemorate their extraordinary achievement.”

New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) Commissioner David J. Swarts said: “While we have been offering the New York Giants plate since 1993, we are proud to feature this new plate that recognizes the heart and gritty determination that brought the championship to a great football team this year.”

The cost for the new plate is identical to the currently issued NY Giants version. For a standard issue DMV plate, with a combination of numbers from 100-998, followed by “NYG”, the initial cost is $43, with an annual renewal fee of $25. Plates are available for passenger and commercial vehicles and can be personalized with the choice of two to six characters. For personalized plates, the initial cost is $68, with an annual renewal fee of $50. All custom and personalized plate fees are in addition to the regular registration renewal fee.

The new plate can be ordered online through the DMV Internet Office at: nysdmv.com, by calling the Custom Plates Office at: (518) 402-4838 or by visiting any DMV office. Additional information, as well as the gallery of nearly 300 custom plates, is available on the DMV website. Disabled individuals who qualify for the International Symbol of Access must order through DMV’s Custom Plates Office.
