Kansas unveiled a new blue and gold license plate. People hated it and now it's back to square one

Kansas Governor Laura Kelly halted production of a criticized new license plate design, promising a public vote on alternative designs.
The now-disfavored design, featuring mostly gold with a navy strip at the top and no art, faced backlash for its resemblance to a New York plate and its unappealing appearance.
Responding to public criticism, Kelly emphasized the need for officials to be responsive to their constituents and announced an adjustment in the process to allow input on the state's next license plate.
