A Michigan alumnus has filed a lawsuit after being stripped of his Wolverines–themed vanity license plate, according to the Associated Press.
Joseph Hardig III, a Detroit-area lawyer, said he was informed that his “G0BLUE” plate had been assigned to another driver when he tried to renew it at a Secretary of State office. Hardig said he went to renew the plate early last month, about a month before the registration was set to expire, but was informed that it had been given to someone else.
“My dad’s passed away. I got it from him,” Hardig told The Detroit News. “It’s meaningful to me. We’re just huge fans and love the university.“
