Dispelling the Myths: A Rainbow of Colors We Shall Not Have
Before we unveil the truth, let's dispel some rumors swirling around the internet like tumbleweeds in a dusty saloon. Here's what the 2024 sticker is NOT:

- Zebra Print: Look, we appreciate your wild side, but Illinois prefers a more...traditional approach.
