leedsunited Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Taking the names off the jerseys can only help get rid of the thuggish "me, me, me" attitude that has been Miami Hurricane football as of late....by "as of late" do you mean the last 25 years? Bernie Kosar was a straight gangsta...Truer words have yet to be uttered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMLSooner Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 No names on back = more room for piping.Just you wait.I'm waiting for the day when someone comes out with a jersey that is all piping.corduroy?No, not corduroy. More like those cheap utility mats made from scraps of cloth.

Fred T. Jane Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Having names on the back is a detriment to teamwork. Just ask Boise State!

"Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes."

Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

Gothamite Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Taking the name off the back of someone's jersey will not change his behavior, on or off the field.It's a gimmick!Would it change yours?No, but symbols are important.If the coach only removes the names, nothing will change. But if he also stresses teamwork, builds comraderie, and explains why he's removing the names then yes, that might change behavior. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Just ask Boise State!yeah but before the fiesta bowl win boise state was a relatively unknown program who (by my guesses, im not a huge cfb fan) wouldnt be able to generate enough money to justify getting new jerseys for every player, nameless was the way to go on the cheap.

Boise State was a paragon of teamwork this past season and they had names on the back of their jerseys. Besides, (1) They were rather well-known and (2) They're a Nike-sponsored program.As Gothamite stated corrected (Like he usually does ), there are other factors at work in stressing teamwork other than just taking names off of jerseys. If it's done alone, then it's just a cheap publicity stunt.

The Danimal Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 I also hate the no-name gimmick in football. The names on the back of the jerseys are for the benefit of the fans on TV - those of us who have not memorized the numbers of all the players on every team we see. Plus it's kind of insulting to the players - are they really going to think that because their teammates don't have names on their jerseys that they're more of a "team" now? What are these guys, third graders? The numbers still distinguish individual players anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmat Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I think they are taking the names off the jerseys not because of team unity, but because the individual players don?t want to be associated with such a butt-ugly uniform.By the way I love Miami. The best college thugs are destine to become the best pro-thugs. Thugary rules, as proven by the fact more Miami players have been drafted by and succeeded in the NFL than any other college over the past several years.Getting back to the point, however, no names on football jerseys is a bad thing, a very bad thing. I only come around here once in a while to annoy you people, and by people I mean you mutha :censored:as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
