Was just looking at Illinois license plates. What is this abomination

  1. Well, there are people who live closer to St. Louis than Chicago, you know.

    But apparently none of the ride motorcycles.

  2. I saw this Illinois St. Louis Cardinals plate in the wild a week ago. I was dumbfounded by it. I drove by it again in the parking lot just to make sure it was a legit Illinois plate. Gross.

  3. Rural imaginary intelligence people live there. Central Illinois, a bunch of fucking losers that will never amount to anything, but they will cheer for the Cardinals from their trailers.

  4. You know what they say- south of I-80 is the south.

    Also north of I-88? Also the south

  5. This is a Cubs state north of I-80 — the rest is Cardinals-occupied territory.

  6. I was disgusted until I realize this is just a matter of drive time to take the kids to a ballgame.

    Wrigley is the best but that shit ain’t practical if you live in East St Louis.

  7. 90% of southern Illinois is cardinals fans. I grew up there and baseball season was fucking miserable.

  8. I see a fair amount of them here in the Bloomington-Normal area unfortunately lol. Lotta St. Louis castoffs around these parts

  9. My ex went to U of I and I lived with her in Champaign while she finished her masters and I don’t know which shocked me more. The unironic confederate flags or all the cardinals gear sold in stores

  10. Central and Southern Illinois had both KPLR and WGN, so growing up, my town was split Cubs / Cards.  Plus the Springfield Cardinals was a minor league affiliate at one point.  So yes, downstate, there are a lot of Cards fans.

    But don’t y’all worry, as I got you covered.  Living in STL now, proudly wearing Cubs gear.

  11. “What’s that shadowy place?”

    “That is southern Illinois. We must never go there.”

  12. Central Illinois (Springfield) is about 50-50 Cubs vs Cards. Very very few down state are White Sox fans

  13. Went to school in BloNo, it’s way more common then I ever would’ve imagined

  14. The harsh reality is, parts of Illinois are closer to St Louis and Memphis TN (also Cardinals territory) than they are Chicago and don’t have any reason to cheer for our sports teams.

    I kinda get where the state is coming from by offering a Cardinals plate, especially when St Louis literally borders Illinois. I’m guessing southern Illinois is loaded with Cardinals fans

  15. In central IL, you live on the front lines of this war. I know all you in the city hate the Sox, but I grew up with Cardinal fans calling me mentally deficient because of my choice in baseball teams. I hate the Cardinals with a red hot seething passion.

  16. Unfortunately I live in Louisiana alas ill never have a cubs plate unless i steal one next time I’m in Chicago

  17. Co worker of mine from Geneva has the Illinois-Cardinals plates, makes me sick

  18. I’m from New England. This is like having New York Yankee tags here. What is the IL DMV thinking with this one?!

  19. My consumer ed teacher in high school would just get the old school IL nature plate (that had a painting of a cardinal on it) and put FAN 24 so it was after the cardinal illustration. Very clever like many of his teachings, but also aggravating because he was so proud of it

  20. I live in the St Louis metro area, thankfully on the IL side. The number of Cardinals fans in Illinois is disgusting.

  21. I’ve always liked traveling in Illinois just to see the custom license plates.

  22. You cub fans who believe that everyone who lives in Illinois should have allegiance to the Cubs simply because they are in Illinois are a very special kind of stupid.
