According to Auburn’s Office of Communication and Marketing, Auburn fans living in North Carolina can finally put those look-at-me Wright Brothers in their place.
Auburn license plates are now available in the Tar Heel State, thanks to the efforts of the Auburn Charlotte Club. A portion of the proceeds from the states’s Auburn tag sales (after the initial 300) will help fund scholarships for Auburn students from North Carolina.
Their palmetto stickered southern neighbors scored a similar deal.
The Palmetto Auburn Club recently completed the application process for Auburn tags to be made available in South Carolina, with up to 94 percent of the sale possibly going to the South Carolina License to Learn Scholarship Endowment Fund.
But probably the most Auburny of the newly available, scholarship-funding Auburn tags is the one fans in Texas can order, which not only features the interlocking AU logo, but an orange and blue border, “Auburn University” and “War Eagle!”

why are the Texas tags for AU better looking than the Alabama tags for AU?
@kim: Every other Auburn plate is better than the one we have in Alabama. It’s awful beyond description.
Oh yeah… been sporting my Texas Auburn plates for over a year now! I agree with you guys, though – they look much better than those hideous ones Alabama has now. The “old school” pinstripe ones Alabama used to have were much nicer!
Not sure if it has been mentioned before, but mississippi got them recently. We got the initial order for 200 about 2 or 3 years ago. They look much like texas but without the war eagle.
The Texas tag is sharp and clean looking! WDE! I hope whoever designs the Alabama version of our tag will take note. The ones we have now look like they were done by a tee-shirt designer.
Need one for GA! In the military and I desperately want one!
NICE. That’s almost enough to make me want to move back to Austin. Actually, just thinking about enchiladas at Chuy’s is enough to make me want to move back to Austin…
The AL tag looks like a boardwalk spray paint job.
Yep, definitely got mine in NC. 🙂
I’m normally not one to say this kinda stuff but: Ha Ha, now all those Clemson complainers about how our team hits too hard can look at our plates from their own state.
It is nice that the NC folks can use a portion of the extra fee for scholarships. I was told when I got my AU plate in Georgia that all the extra $25 just goes to the state, and Auburn (and any Auburn-related cause) gets nothing at all. I still have the plates on my cars, from unstoppable AU pride, but I am questioning whether I need to keep paying a fee that really just goes, albeit indirectly, straight to the Dawg University (if what I was told was the truth).
