REGINA – Saskatchewan Roughrider fans will have new ways to show off their Rider pride. Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) announced Tuesday they will be offering up two new retro plates – the collector plate and the vintage Roughrider plate – to show off your pride.
“Green is the colour,” said Don McMorris, the minister responsible for SGI. “It’s the colour of our province, the colour of our pride, and now the colour of two new specialty licence plates Saskatchewan residents can display proudly on their vehicles. We’re going back to our roots and drawing on Saskatchewan’s heritage with the new Collector and Vintage Rider licence plates.”

The retro plates are modeled after the 1965 Saskatchewan licence plate. They have a green background with embossed white numbers, borders and lettering along the top and bottom.
The collector plate says Collector at the bottom and the vintage Rider plate says Rider Nation and features a vintage Roughriders team logo on the left.
”The history of our football team is ingrained in Saskatchewan culture,” said Saskatchewan Roughrider Football Club President and CEO Jim Hopson.
“We all know the Saskatchewan Roughriders have the world’s greatest fans, so it’s exciting to be able to provide fans the opportunity to display their pride with the new Vintage Rider plate.”
You can pre-order your plates starting Wednesday at 9 a.m. The cost for the Collector Plate is $75 plus GST, while the vintage Rider plate is $100 plus GST. Fans who want personalized plates can order those for an additional $75 plus GST.
