You've seen them all over Illinois, the Chicago White Sox license plates.

But these are actually issued for all professional and college sports teams in the state. And as of February 20, 2026, there are 37,404 White Sox license plates issued, according to the Illinois Secretary of State.

That's more than double the next highest team, which is the Chicago Blackhawks at 16,470.

- White Sox 37,404

- Blackhawks 16,470

- Cubs 13,642

- Bears 10,995

- Bulls 5,145

- Cardinals 4,370

- Fire 0

Unexpected, given the popularity of the various teams in the state, but I suppose it represents the fact that White Sox fans are proud and loyal, even if the number of Sox fans in the city doesn't compare to other teams.
