EBT Cards For The US States

We all know the states compete in everything, let's take a look at how they compare in EBT (Food Stamps) card design!

Alabama

Alabama's representing with swirly text on a dark background with a line-drawing of an important building. Likely the capitol?

Alaska

Mountains! Looks just like you'd expect Alaska's card to look.

Arizona

encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com

Grand outdoor scene. Pretty common among the Western states you'll see.

Arkansas

encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com

Arkansas is The Natural State? Shouldn't there just be a big picture of Walmart on here?

California

encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com

Golden State Advantage. We all know you're better than us California. And even your EBT card conveys that message with the ocean lapping the beautiful golden sands of your coast. Advantage = California.

Colorado

Rocky Mountain High.

Connecticut

The Connect Card. Did someone just fill a rectangle with the basket-weave fill in Word and then print out a bunch of Connect Cards? I don't know how Clippy would feel about this.

Delaware

Hi, I'm in Delaware.

(The Delaware Food Stamp Card is a mystery.)

Disctrict of Columbia

Capital Access, yo. Not to be confused with Capitol Access. You know, your building key-card.

Florida

encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com

A very un-Florida like coastal scene.

Georgia

encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com

Peaches come from a can! Action shot too!

Hawaii

encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com

Is this a pineapple plant?

Idaho

encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com

Idaho does a nice job with red, white and two shades of blue. Also shout-out to the Gem State for state name using the largest font.

Illinois

encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com

Is this like the tunnel you see when you die? I'm not really sure what's happening here.

Indiana

encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com

Points for the stars emanating from the torch and use of Hoosiers. Does Leslie Knope approve?

Iowa

encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com

A nice rural/urban, past/future, WPA/CCC looking card.

Kansas

encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com

All of the Vision Card images I found were in black and white or sepia tones. Is this some sort of commentary on The Wizard of Oz? Hipsters.

Kentucky

kgaonline.org

A blue stallion running in the wind. Kentucky is where horses run.

Louisiana

media.nola.com

Louisiana Purchase Card is by far, the best name for an EBT card. It even features prominently in Mr. Ghetto's "Walmart" music video. (NSFW)

Maine

encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com

Why are there so many cards with lighthouses?

Massachusetts

encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com

How do you like them apples? I don't even know what that means.

Maryland

encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com

Bold color choices, Maryland.

Michigan

encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com

Because the state's in two parts, guys.

Minnesota

encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com

Trees. Water. Canoe. Typical Feeling Minnesota sort of card. Also the state's silhouette is in the B!

encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com

Magnolia blossom for the Magnolia state, yo.

Missouri

encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com

Kind of looks like art for sale at a mid-90s art market in Missouri.

Montana

encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com

Looks rockish because Montana borders The Rockies? Or lots of counter tops come from there.

Nebraska

encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com

Is that Willa Cather?

Nevada

encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com

The Silver State indeed. I think there should just be a giant pic of The Strip or the Nevada Test Site.

New Hampshire

Live Free and Don't Post a Pic of Your State's EBT Card on the Internet.

New Jersey

encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com

New Mexico

encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com

Because nothing says EBT Card like a hot air balloon fiesta!

New York

North Carolina

swaincountydss.org

I don't even know if this is the real card.

North Dakota

encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com

Nice capitol building background pic, with an inset state outline filled with flowers. Similar to Wisconsin.

Ohio

encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com

Another action shot, this time with the Ohio Direction Card!

Oklahoma

encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com

Nice job, including Will Rogers, Oklahoma.

Oregon

encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com

All time best food stamps card. Why? Conestoga Wagon, bitches.

Pennsylvania

t1.gstatic.com

Harken back the sweet colors of the early Nineties with the PA Access Card.

Rhode Island

encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com

Looks like those fake credit cards that used to come in wallets.

South Carolina

encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com

Cornucopia. And the beach. And a soldier statue and historic building.

South Dakota

encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com

Apt.

Tennessee

encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com

Tennessee's camera-shy, so look at these adorable puppies!

Texas

texaswatchdog.org

Of course.

Utah

encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com

Pretty much like all of the other cards of the Western states.

Vermont

encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com

Isn't Vermont like the most laid-back state? So why the "EXPRESS"?

Virginia

inova.org

Probably the boringest.

Washington

encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com

A lot going on here, Washington. And it's all good.

West Virginia

encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com

Front and back combo! Plus a bridge and greenery!

Wisconsin

encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com

Bold use of kelly green. Also, nice use of the state outline filled with a forest scene.
