wtf? pony up, holt.
SAN ANTONIO -- Like a lot of San Antonians these days, Craig Kindle is trying to find creative ways to show his support for the San Antonio Spurs.
Recently when Kindle got a notice in the mail to renew his license plates, he thought about getting some specialty plates of his favorite NBA team.
But to his disappointment, Kindle found out his only option for specialty plates of a Texas NBA team was of the Dallas Mavericks.
"I was pretty much shocked that we were left off the list," Kindle said in an interview with KSAT 12 News.
So why aren't Spurs specialty license plates available?
The Texas Department of Transportation requires professional sports teams to pay a $15,000 deposit to have specialty plates printed. The team can recover their deposit once 3,500 plates are sold.
But after checking with other professional sports teams around Texas, Spurs officials found out that most teams never reach the quota and decided to pass on the specialty plates.
wtf? pony up, holt.
. . . and Spurs fans wonder why the Spurs are the only team that does't give away free t-shirts.
they probably will now.
man, a plate with this
on it would be sweet
If ever there was an issue just important enough for an Internets pe ion....
I would sign it ^
I live in Oklahoma now and for some reason you're not required to have a front license plate here. Hence, I bought a Spurs one!
Are asterisks available as characters on personalized plates?
When you buy them in Phoenix, yes.
Good luck on finding one. If you see one, do let us know, huh.
I would totally buy a Spurs plate.
I have that Spur logo as a stick on emblem on the back of my Trailblazer. It looks sweet as . Bought it at Academy.man, a plate with this
on it would be sweet
Man the Spurs are about the stupidest team in pro-sports when it comes to marketing, and have been since day 1.
Did they ask those other teams how many championships they have won recently? Did they ask them if there are any other pro teams in their towns?
IF the other teams go and jump off a bridge are the Spurs going too as well, or some like that?
Bash Cuban all you want, but at least he knows how to sell his team to his public.
Yeah, no kidding. Make it an option and everyone in this damn town would have a Spurs license plate. I'd take the over on 3,500 plates in the first month.
$15k? there goes the ncaa scout.
How much does it cost to get specized plates? I'd get some Spurs ones too.
The Spurs logo is one of the best looking logos in Sports right now, IMO. What a shame they waste it.
my god, they have one for dolphins
wtf holt?
The other question I would ask is...why do the Spurs have to pay money so people can pay money to get their plates?
TDOT aren't exactly a bunch of Einsteins either.
How did the dolphins come up with $15,000?
Last time I checked it was something like $30. But that was a couple years ago.
Easily ... we were talking about that at work today, and there was about 20 right there. Bas s.
Kinda hard to believe that you can't get Cowboys or Longhorns plates...
I know they could sell 3500 Longhorn plates in Austin.
uh, you can
