White Ovals

They may be import stickers -- the Netherlands one reads, "NL," so perhaps an abbreviation for the country itself. And "SK" might be South Korea?

I don't know if this was the origin, but awhile back Volkswagen was distributing those stickers in magazine ads - I got a few that said some U.S. states. They might have been copying a meme already in existance though.

I have seen a bunch of them with College names.

Yes, they are stickers that represent other countries. I don't know why people have them, but working on an Air Force base, I see them all the time. Have seen "GB" for Great Britian a lot. It must be some new fad...

When I was in Germany on exchange 10 years ago, all the cars I saw had them - I think they are actually required in Europe to tell easily what country a car is from.
Here, I think it's a fad copying that.

Yeah, I think they're just a fad, with each sticker bearing its own meaning, like this one for a band. I saw "SK" up close and it says "Siesta Key" in tiny print. Pheh. I still wouldn't put this on my car.

Especially considering what the average 13-year-old wit would make of it.

Can anyone enlighten me as to the nature or purpose of the white oval stickers I have seen on the backs of so many cars lately? They have a black circle around the edge, and two or three letters written in a large, black, typically sans-serif font. "SK" seems to be most common around here, but I've seen other abbreviations. Sometimes these are on the bumpers, but more often I see them on the hood or rear window. They appear to be imitations of European auto stickers like this one from the Netherlands. Is there any meaning to this trend as a whole, or is it limited to individual meaning for each sticker?
