In rugby, starting players are numbered 1-15 based on position.  Backups are numbered 16 and up.

And as far as recent QBs wearing numbers higher than 19, here are two more:

Much of the team switched back to the pre-Techfit jerseys at halftime of their 2011 game at Northwestern because the Techfit jerseys had gotten so stretched and/or ripped in the first half that they were unwearable.  Denard Robinson didn't switch at halftime, but he was forced to switch at some point during the second half of that game.  That seems like an awfully strange time to "decide on what they wanted to wear."

Not only did Michigan's basketball jerseys have problems with tearing all season long, but after their game against Minnesota on January 17 (in which five different jerseys ripped), Adidas was unable to supply them with new blue road uniforms to replace the torn ones, so they had to use the previous season's blue uniforms for the rest of the season (including now, 2 1/2 months later).  And this is on top of their road football jerseys having such severe quality control issues that Michigan voluntarily switched back to wearing a previous season's road jerseys.

Adidas quality control is nonexistent and their products are atrocious.  As a Michigan fan, I can't wait until we switch away from Adidas.  Say what you want about Nike and Under Armour's design ideas; at least they produce sports jerseys that actually function as sports jerseys.

I think the Detroit Tigers have the best white look in baseball and the Detroit Red Wings have the best white look in hockey.  But nobody has yet posted my favorite white NFL uniforms:

Is Adidas trying to claim the shoulder yoke as "their" design?  The Wisconsin yoke looks very similar to the one Michigan will wear against Alabama.

Speaking of Michigan, hopefully neither Wisconsin nor Nebraska fans will react too positively to these uniforms.  Many fans liked Michigan's UTL jerseys last year, so Adidas then felt the need to roll out other one-off variations for just about every other big game.
