I don't want to vote officially, but this is my choice:

Why isn't there a plate with the more iconic Ed Koch Queens borough Bridge. Tappan Zee Bridge for ever.

That's a big priority to this mass of corrupt so-called legislators? And five designs?

So the SOL is back on the plates, amazing. Are they going to force people to destroy these like they destroyed the last ones (below)?

BTW, Plate 3 is in extremely bad taste. A monument to the Fredo family??

I thought it was the new Kosciu(s)ko Bridge

There are some similarities, particularly because they're both cable-stayed bridges.

Number 5 looks like something we'd have in the South.
Number 4 looks more accurate, a flaming barrel.

I see my suggestion for the "yankees suck" as the state motto didn't pass muster.

They probably could have included a rail bridge, so Metro-North could run to Suffern (and maybe Port Jervis) via parts of the old Erie Piermont Branch, from GCT (imagine that).

I don't like the cantilever style of the Queensboro Bridge. Brooklyn or none. I agree about the Tappen Zee. It's quite attractive, but not for a plate. I am sure that has something to do with our corrupt current governor, and the name of the new Tappen Zee

Yeah exactly. I like the look of the plate, but don't like it because of the name change. I hate the design of the THREE statue of liberty ones (why three with the same thing?). I guess the 5th one by default then.

It's the state motto.

I think it's an F-U to states that put "In God We Trust" on their plates. Notices that one of the plates also includes "E Pluribus Unum."

IAWTP

Fun fact: The Queensboro was originally proposed as a suspension bridge. Somewhere along the way, before construction began, it was changed to the cantilever that stands today. I read this somewhere many years ago, and don't recall the details. I sometimes refer to it as the Queensboro Cantilever bridge :)

I hate all of them. The only reason I like the 3rd one is because it does not have that Excelsior crap on it. Why not "empire state"? But I hate the obvious plug to the "Cuomo" bridge with that. If it was still named Tappen Zee, I wouldn't have issue, but out of all the landmarks in NY, they put that on? Our corrupt governor.....

And technically, the 5th one ALSO has a statue of liberty!! Not that I am against statue of liberty, buth there are FOUR with it on it. And the 3rd one really doesn't make much sense as a symbol, aside from it being sort of attractive in design, less busy, and without that Excelsior crap.

Plate # 2.With "The Big Apple" instead of Excelsior. I know it sounds a little dated , but not as dated as Excelsior, regardless of it being the state motto.

In all the states I have experience with, "In God We Trust" is voluntary. You have to request that generic plate.
