Crabcake Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 So, after a positive response to whether I should make this thread, I've decided to go ahead and make a thread devoted to uniform numbers. This is the all-encompassing uniform number thread - although a decent amount of my posts will focus on free agents getting new numbers when they go to new teams - so you can post anything you want about uni numbers. I'll get it started with one of the more high-profile number changes of the MLB offseason: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynasty Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I just want to say that it bothers me that a pitcher is wearing a single digit number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almighty Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Would be funny if a NHL goalie was named Leake. And he should of course wear number 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-ROY Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I actually keep track of new numbers for hockey to get an early eye on what the player would look like in their new uniform so I'll be using this thread quite a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now this thread is pretty quiet because the MLB offseason is almost done. Once we get to NFL free agency and some NHL trades this thread will heat up.

ConcreteCharlie Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 As a kid I was always fascinated with the football number system. During the summer when I played football, before we got our game jerseys, I would pick a number that would best suit every player on the team. It was weird how my mind worked, but I knew when a guy just looked like a 58 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJTank Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 The NFL number system has changed in recent years allowing receivers to get numbers in the teens like Larry Fitzgerald #11. Also it was not always in effect and not in the AFL take a look at the John Hadl #22 no QB can wear that now. Then you had kickers that played other positions Jim O'Brien won Super Bowl V with #80, Lou Grozza wore #60. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LA_Angels Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I believe baseball had a system of assigning numbers in the past.... Something along the lines of 0-14 Infielders and Catchers 15-29 Outfielders 30-39 Starting Pitchers 40-59 Relievers 60+ Call Ups/ Not Expected to make the roster Off the top of my head, correct me if im wrong.

Crabcake Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 Gallardo to wear 49 with the O's, Dylan Bundy (the previous wearer) to take 37. The previous owner of 37, the pitching coach Dave Wallace, will take 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
