BBTV Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 This obviously isn't his new jersey number, but just showing off the rarely-used "narrow" version of the NOB font. I can only think of one other instance for sure (when "MIKE PATTERSON" had to go FNOB by rule).

DCarp1231 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Interesting to see how some teams already assign numbers to newly drafted players, but some have their players pose with jerseys that have their drafted round number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolvikings Posted April 28, 2019 Author Share Posted April 28, 2019 They generally get the jerseys with a number 1 at the draft. The jersey with the assigned number come with the first visit to team headquarters. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they mean when they arrive at team hq, I know the pats don’t assign there’s until later and just put jerseys out with just there round number, bbtv’s pick shows this too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably only if whatever number he wants just happens to be available at the time. The rest don't get numbers until mini camp, and they may change as guys start getting cut. Here's their #1 from this year in what will presumably be his number. I have no idea who he is or if this is his college number too.

BBTV Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 It used to be that if there was two players with the same last name, they had to have their first initials on the back. If there was two players with the same last name and same first initial, they had to have their full name on back (not just first two initials.) That rule, like several others pertaining to names, doesn't exist anymore.

ZipperClub Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 The latter rule was never applicable, as Mike and Dimitri obviously start with different letters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC (and I might not... it was a while ago) the problem was with a preseason player, and the MIKE was removed either before the season or shortly after. He might not have actually even worn that in a regular-season game.

dont care Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 For what ever reason it’s not allowing me to quote, but stacked is by far the worst. The first name gets covered by the helmet and the number get pushed further down than normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Stacked hasn't been an option in 30ish years.
