NFL May Allow Single-Digit Jerseys

[CalPolyTechnique]

I’ve been calling for this for a long time. Hopefully, it comes to fruition.

NFL may allow defensive backs, linebackers, running backs to wear single-digit numbers

The NFL is considering a rule that won’t necessarily change the game on the field, but will change the way the game looks, and a rule that players have long advocated for: Loosening the restrictions on jersey numbers, including allowing more players to wear single-digit numbers.

They should go back to the old days when there were no Jersey numbers.

Good. Let DL wear numbers in the 80s again, as well.

I'd hate that

When I was a kid and you wanted to be WR you had to pick your favorite 80s number...usually 80 or 88. Maybe because of Tony Hill and Drew

 

[jrumann59]

I just find it odd that they are running out of numbers, recently WR got access to 10-19 and had 80-89. What team is running around with 20+ receivers on a 53 man roster. TE you could always ***** them call them H-Backs and give them 40-49.

I hate the direction this league is heading

 

[Hardline]

I wore #9 as a TE in high school.

 

[lostar2009]

I like the current number scheme a lot of times I can look at the number and know the player position. But it's meh now I guess.

 

[Praxit]

.. I wore -7 in HS as FB.

I wore #11 in JV as FB/LB/DE, wore #59 in Varsity as DE/LB and backup OG

some numbers become special and you have to retire them.

No way. Won't leave enough room for advertisement........sad as that is.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Of all the things the NFL could do to make the game better. And this is how they spend their time???

SMH

 

[Bowdown27]

Honestly I’m ok with it. See some linebackers wearing a number such as 9 would be cool to see. Cornerback wearing 2. Etc.

I can care less about the number as what the player wearing the number does. Wear 0 for all I care as long as you do well.

 

[Rockport]

Doesn’t bother me.
