Ranking the 50 State Welcome Signs

[@bailey9504]

“Welcome to colorful Colorado” *has a brown and white welcome sign*

[@bulafritz]

At least they refrained from bragging about the Rocky mountains....

[@krisgray8085]

Okay, I feel compelled to defend my state's sign. The understated appearance of the sign actually is perfect for Colorado. You are not coming to see the sign, you come for the natural spectrum of color that Colorado offers. The wooden sign with the slogan reminds you to notice the beauty of my beloved state. A flashy, busy multi-colored sign is completely unnecessary and gaudy. Frankly, it would come off as disingenuous. The most likely reaction would be, " If it's so colorful, why do you need a sign of such... theatrical composition ?" No lipstick on a pig here.The sign tells you what Colorado is, and the plain tones of that sign and its motto are an invitation for you to take notice, because there is so much to take in. And when you come to visit and see the color of the natural landscape, you will understand why the welcome sign is the first awesome thing you see. It tells you that you are about to experience something special. I personally, while biased in opinion, find it perfect.

Lol they’re tryna harken back to the mining era with it. Not only was the landscape colorful, like the Colorado Paint Mines (which you should look up, they’re rad), not only was the sky incredibly colorful almost every morning and evening (rarely a gray day here except in winter), but the underground was colorful too with tons of gold. Since they were so proud of the gold in the mtns, they styled the sign to look like it belongs in a mining town.

I'm glad you put UT at #2, but It really should be number 1 with their creativity for each region. Edit: It also appears that Lake Powell is one of them as well for that entrance to the state...

Wow, AK #1. Didn’t expect that. When you mentioned HI and the “cheat” with the airport sign I was expecting the same for AK not remembering that I actually drove out AK to the lower 48 myself 🤦🏽‍♀️ As we got closer and closer to the end I was like wait, did he mention AK already, surely we’re not number one

[@mcbullitt]

Nicely done. Fun vid. Although you missed that SC puts a little red star at the location where the sign is in its map on the sign. 😄

Wisconsin's style of sign would also work nicely for the western side of Oregon and/or Washington State.

I’m an admin in a freeway oriented group on FB (Freewayjim) and everyone is mentioning how much they enjoy your channel. Though I may not necessarily agree all the time, I think it’s very well done and it’s fun to watch.

[@bradvaith6410]

As a native Minnesotan I was looking forward to seeing the sign at least in the top 10 and it just missed it at 11 😔 great video though

[@disastermidi1990]

Same I’m always disappointed seeing the welcome signs get once leaving ha

[@Oh-w3lp]

Very surprised Kansas was in 4th place. As I was watching the video, as we got closer and closer to the end, I was thinking “surely he must’ve forgotten Kansas somewhere, right?” Haha, I love hearing your opinions, shocking that Kansas doesn’t bore you in this respect!

the yellow sunflower and blue sky are beautiful !

[@garypeacock5919]

We've travelled to the states from Scotland for the past 20 or so years and have managed to get 32 state sign photo's, my personal favourite is the Idaho sign from about 2002, it's red, white and blue. Maine and Massachusetts are my least favourite, wish they would make more effort, nothing beats a great sign 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇸

Kyle, may I suggest as a topic, "humorous place names." Many cities and towns have odd names and this would make a funny video. Here in MN we have, "Nimrod" as a contender. Pahrump, NV is another humorous name.

[@Carlos-jh8qs]

Alaska came out on top for once on a list like this 😭🤧 I love our welcome sign, I passed it when I road tripped to college down in the lower 48

[@chasedhont]

I like the vibes of the Washington one

[@marksitts2290]

I miss the old Nevada sign that just said, "Welcome to Nevada, the Silver State."

[@wjcorrinne4052]

If you really want to know where two states divide, look at the road bed. It can change from concrete to blacktop. Or grooves ground into it and in some instances it can also tells you you’ve just entered a new county. Even Interstates, i.e. I-90 Wis./ Illinois there’s no mistaking you’re in a different state.

[@rabidsamfan]

The Colorado sign has looked like that for at least 50 years!

[@colonless7512]

I kinda wish they would use the iconic "C" for a sign. I like the old looking style but it would be cool to see a different sign someday

[@nitedreamer23]

It's a classic-- like the license plates.

[@MrVuckFiacom]

Let's keep it that way.

[@rabidsamfan]

@@MrVuckFiacom I am good with that!

[@joeldavis5815]

It definitely deserves a spot in the top ten in my opinion.

[@pficknohl2894]

I think the river in the second “I” for Illinois is supposed to be an outline of Lincoln’s head

[@samuelahlquist]

Some of Montana’s signs change depending on where you enter the state, beartooth pass on US-212 has an Elk and I think I-94 from North Dakota has a picture of the prairie

[@Nyx773]

6:58 ILLINOIS 1) Not a river, it is Lincoln’s profile on that map 2) Until about 15 years ago, the governor’s name was on every sign. Then got a governor who finally put a stop to the excessive cost of replacing signs every 4-8 years
