Maybe the case when it goes with some kind of theme, but in cases like Cleveland where it's just a slightly-tweaked block that makes no real sense, there has to be some reason for it - even if it's just to distinguish it just enough from their old jerseys that people have to buy new ones (even though they would anyway since the players change.)

I think this is the actual reason. The Lakers switched from the Kobe-era side panels to the new jerseys in 2019, but they changed the collar just a bit so that they could sell throwbacks (which look virtually the same). It’s the same reason why Buffalo included navy trim, and by Miami and Philly haven’t switched back to the throwbacks, even though they are superior. Teams want to have their cake and eat it too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unrelated--sorta--but the day Buffalo gets rid of all that navy trim will be the day those Bills uniforms truly vault to become the top-tier uniforms they're meant to be. 7 Quote *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOOVER Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Great jersey number choices by the Chiefs two 1st-round picks. Karlaftis would've looked great in #90, leaving #56 for Leo Chenal, who the Chiefs nabbed at the end of the third. It would be rare, but I actually hope they make a jersey trade since Karlaftis chose #56 before the Chenal selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's plenty of numbers "out of rotation", but recent years have proven they can easily go back in rotation. The legend alumni players have no say in whether or not a number go back into the rotation. It may be a good PR move for a new player to ask for the legend's blessing to wear "their number", but in actuality it's up to the team. Dan Snyder has shown a willingness allow certain numbers back into the rotation for whatever reason. Twice now with 17, and most recently with 7. Wouldn't be surprised if how much Snyder likes or dislikes an alum plays a factor 1 Quote Hotter Than July > Thriller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainly fans making a fuss over numbers worn by legend status alums of the team. Added to that Haskins was what we call "a Snyder draft pick", so that was additional fuel tossed into the fire. 1 Quote Hotter Than July > Thriller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
