gwl144 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Not really about "design" or the logo itself, but where would you rank the quarterback numbers? Based on aesthetics, success, and just the quintessential quarterback number. What's your favorite number to see on the jersey of a quarterback?

Echo Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 For me, 12 has always been the quintessential QB number. Namath, Bradshaw, Stabler, Staubach, Griese, Cumningham and Kelly all wore it. More recently, of course, Brady, Rodgers and Luck among others have worn it. 12 just seems right for a starting QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hat Boy Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 7 should get some love too--Bert Jones, John Elway, Boomer Esiason, Joe Theismann, Ben Roethlisberger, Ron Jaworski.... But 12 is probably the undisputed king. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCarp1231 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Something about 17 on a QB looks really nice However, I do agree 12 is the pinnacle QB number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just noticed that I can't use Washington's original nickname when I did this. That was slick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurt Warner wore 12 while he was a camp body for Green Bay his rookie season. He even wore 10 for his first(?) season with the Rams. Most people only remember him wearing 13 from Iowa Barnstormers until his retirement with the Cardinals. The point I’m trying to make is yes 12 is the pinnacle QB number, but there are those who deviate from it and find success with other numbers.

He couldn’t name more than one QB17 (Rivers). I raised him six. Totally necessary for the sake of argument. I like 17 as a QB number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilSox Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Joe Namath was the origin of 12 as the "glamour" number for QBs. Then every Super Bowl winning quarterback from 1971-1979 wore the number, thus cementing its status. Then you throw in Brady and Rodgers over the past decade and any other number as an answer to this question is a reach at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what you are saying is that the guys wearing 17 don't hold a candle to the guys wearing 12. That makes 12 a better QB number than 17. go ahead and gif me It's where I sit.

The original question was “What’s your favorite number to see on the jersey of a quarterback?” I even stated multiple times that I don’t question the number 12 to be the pinnacle of QB numbers. Again, I simply and aesthetically prefer to see QBs wear 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
