University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa – The University of Alabama is set to unveil a redesigned specialty vehicle tag featuring the classic Vault A logo, with sales beginning June 2, 2025. This updated design is aimed at spirited alumni and supporters who wish to show their pride while also contributing to student scholarships.
The new tag, which is available for both numbered and personalized options, will incur an additional cost of $50 on top of the usual tag price. This initiative is significant, as proceeds from the UA specialty tags directly fund scholarships for both undergraduate and graduate students.
Last fiscal year, the University sold over 120,000 vehicle and motorcycle tags, raising approximately $5.2 million for scholarships. The revenue generated plays a pivotal role in supporting the educational pursuits of students at the University.
This redesigned tag replaces the previous version featuring a script A logo that debuted in 2015. The Vault A logo, known for its bold representation of an elephant running through a crimson block letter “A,” was initially introduced in 1973 but was retired in 1998. Its return marks a nostalgic homage to the University’s tradition and branding.
Individuals interested in obtaining the new Vault A design can purchase the tags at local county license offices starting June 2, 2025. Importantly, collegiate tags can be acquired at any time, regardless of when a person’s tag renewal date occurs.
The UA National Alumni Association, which comprises over 35,000 active alumni and friends and is organized into more than 100 local chapters across the nation, supports the University of Alabama by providing annual academic scholarships. The association plays a crucial role in fostering a strong network of alumni and enhancing school spirit.
The announcement of this new tag design is part of the broader mission of the UA National Alumni Association to encourage alumni and friends to demonstrate their school spirit while simultaneously aiding students in their educational ambitions. The combination of nostalgia with a contemporary design aims to engage stakeholders and stimulate community interest in supporting the institution.
As the University of Alabama prepares to launch this initiative, alumni, students, and supporters alike can look forward to a revitalized means of expressing their commitment to the university and its mission of providing quality education to its students.
