DCarp1231 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Well, things are a little bit different this year. With the new numbering policy taking effect this year, we’ll see rookies and veterans alike changing jersey numbers Bengals Rookie WR Ja’Marr Chase will be the first player in Bengals history to wear 1 Washington Rookie LB Jamin Davis goes with 52 Jaguars Rookie RB Travis Etienne and Rookie QB Trevor Lawrence Falcons Rookie TE Kyle Pitts will wear 8 Tamp Bay RB Leonard Fournette will change from 28 to 7 Colts QB Carson Wentz will wear 2 Vikings CB Patrick Peterson will wear 7 • Bills WR Emmanuel Sanders will wear 1 https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nfl.com/_amp/emmanuel-sanders-to-wear-no-1-for-buffalo-bills • Eagles Rookie WR DeVonta Smith intends to wear 6 or 3 https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2021-nfl-draft-devonta-smith-reveals-he-will-wear-a-single-digit-jersey-number-in-the-nfl/amp/ • 49ers Rookie QB Trey Lance is sticking with 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have thought a kicker or punter would have worn #1 at some point in Bengals history. Hotter Than July > Thriller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 So stupid that they put the diagonal slash on the bottom of the 1. Trying way too hard with those numbers... like nearly all teams that bust out new uniforms.

BBTV Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Davonta Smith will be the first single-digit receiver in Eagles modern history. Dislike.

I guess I'm on the side of liking it because I do not care at all. The numbering system has never been relevant to me beyond knowing the # of players I like. That said, fascinating to see the passion come out for stuff like this, it's what the uniforum is all about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbman21 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 I'm just old. Grew up with all the great WRs wearing numbers in the 80's, etc etc.I'll get used to it like I did the WRs in the teens but still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How exactly do single digit numbers help represent that? I really dislike this new rule.. it reinforces much of the nonsense at lower levels - like defensive ends and linebackers wearing single digits.. it looks ridiculous.

How does a single-digit number represent how big a part of the team anyone is? It's not like the numbers represent a ranking of their ability. Some jabroni receiver wearing #3 isn't any more important than a stud DE wearing #99 or a MLB wearing #50, and certainly not more important than a HOF LT wearing #75. EDIT: if anything, getting to wear the numbers of the all-time greats like 80, 81, 88, etc. shows that you're important. It's really an immature idea.

I don’t love them, but they’re pretty conservative, in my opinion. Now, if we wanna talk about trying too hard on a set of numbers, the Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles might be a good place to start.

The eagles is just a bad font they picked, they didn’t purposely alter a font to try too hard to make a connection to the stadium that wasn’t needed, Atleast that’s what the nikespeak said in the unveiling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chcarlson23 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Did the Vikings update the number font? I thought the 7 would have the sail serifs on Darrisaw’s jersey. If they changed that would be a huge boost to an already great set. "And those who know Your Name put their trust in You, for You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You."

Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bathysphere Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 I was thinking about how it felt like players wearing the 80s was getting phased out thru attrition, with the only players allowed to wear them (WRs, TEs) gaining way more options. However, in a few years this rule may actually see the 80s coming *back*, since between five WRs, four RBs, three TEs, six DBs, six LBs, two QBs, a punter and a kicker, numbers 1-19 could fill up pretty quick. At that point, I don’t expect too many number starved wideouts to reach for numbers in the 20-49 range as there isnt much precedent (tight ends can rock the 40s however, thanks Chris Cooley). I could see them going back and filling out the 80s before they start going to running back numbers. The day I see a receiver wearing some number like 37 will be the day I have to accept that the 80s are just grandpa numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
