Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards signs bill to create special women’s basketball national championship license plates
Fans of Angel Reese, Alexis Morris, Kim Mulkey and LSU’s national-title-winning basketball team will now be able to show their pride on their car’s license plate, at least in the state of Louisiana.
On Thursday, Gov. John Bel Edwards signed a ceremonial bill at a private event in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center to create specialty license plates commemorating the Tigers’ title win over the Iowa Hawkeyes last spring.
Mulkey became the first of two LSU coaches to win titles in their second seasons this past academic year, as baseball coach Jay Johnson captured the program’s seventh national title just a few months later.

However, this title represented the first for LSU’s women’s basketball program, though it was Mulkey’s fourth overall. After adding two of the top transfer players available and bringing back Reese and Flau'Jae Johnson, this team may enter the 2023-24 season as the favorite to repeat as champions.
