Lions,

representatives
to
announce
four new

each

the logo
of one

with net

Team

Earl
Cureton,
Red
Wings
legend
Chris
Osgood
and
Tigers
legend
Al
Kaline.
“In
Michigan,
we love
our
sports
teams,
and
motorists
now will
be able
to
proudly
display
the logo
of the
Lions,
Pistons,
Red
Wings or
Tigers
on their
license
plate at
home and
on the
road,”
Benson
said.
“Buying
a plate
also
will
support
the
teams’
charitable
efforts
promoting
the
well-being
of our
children.”
Any
of the
plates
can be
ordered
at
ExpressSOS.com,
by mail

As

cause
license

when a
pro team

ordered,
$25 of
the $35

or

Each of
these

The

with a

Any pro

team
plate is
limited

digits.
Benson

each of
the
teams,
as well

Sen. Jim
Stamas,
of
Midland,
who
sponsored
the
legislation
creating
the pro
sports
team
plates,
and
other
legislators,
especially
Detroit’s
legislative
caucuses,
for
working
together
to make
the
