What do the maple leaf license plates mean?

Question

On some cars I see license plate with the format 30ML78 (or something similar). With the logo for the Toronto Maple Leafs next to it. I assume the ML stands for Maple Leafs, but what do the numbers mean?

Answer 1

roughly translate to "i cry myself to sleep every night"

Answer 2

It means the same as the numbers on any license plate. The only difference is they paid for the 'ML' and Leafs symbol.

Answer 3

It means that they paid extra to show that they're a fan of a team that hasn't won in 40 years.

288 Nice.  I love Star Trek. But I must say, I saw "get lost" the other day though, that's better.

Answer 4

3 - as I bought 1 Blue, and a 2nd, and the bartender felt sorry for me so he gave me the 3rd one FREE!

0 - looks like a golf ball from here

M - My

L -  Lord

78 -  The last time the Canadiens and Leafs played in a semifinal against eachother. Without telling you who won, I'd like to remind Toronto fans they've not played in a SC final since 1967 (where admittingly, in no small part because of Sawchuk, they beat my Canadien)

Answer 5

You can get those for any team (Raptors, Jays etc). It just shows that your a fan of the team.

Answer 6

"Idiot On Board"

Answer 7

It depends. Those are custom plates. I have seen all sorts of different things on them, not just numbers.

Answer 8

Basically what Jeff said. Don't know why my fellow Leafs fans would do something so stupid....

Personally, I'd go with a vanity plate that goes "WARP 9 (Ontario crown as a decimal point) 8" or something like that.
