Armycop, I think you should make them more square and less like a bumper sticker so we have more options on where to put it.

Midwest, for sure. Every time I hear "Heartland" I think of that TV mini-series where the Russkies over-ran the U.S.

I personally think you all are crazy for thinking we're the mid-west. Theres nothing west about our geography....

and before you explain - yes I KNOW that it refers to the mississippi, but its an outdated reference point.

I don't necessarily like the heartland either, it was just a suggestion on my part. Really i'd prefer Great Plains....but our area includes more that what would be considered the great plains.

That's a really good point. But, if it's between Heartland and Midwest . . well, I already said how I feel about Heartland. The problem is, the area of our region is rather sucky--Oklahoma to NC? That's a large area to expect to have runs together. And, yet, we have runs routinely with those in AR, and they're not in our region at all. Anyway, I think we should be the Great Plains. Here's the Britannica definition of the Great Plains:

Great Plains, a geographically and environmentally defined region covering parts of ten states: Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming, Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas, and New Mexico.

The bolded ones are part of the current Mid-West forum. There is also Iowa and Missouri--I'm not certain how they escaped being part of the official Great Plains, but we can make that right and include them honorarily.

BTW: This map documents the official definition of "Midwest" by the U.S. census bureau:

So would the sticker have a white background, I don't think that would look good on my black jeep??

How about Central USA, ROFL.

I like midwest, will it be a clear back ground? Letters like the jk stickers with a clear back ground.
