MCM0313 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 My favorite Mets uniform ever is the road alt they dumped after 2021: blue shirt with orange piping, silver numbers, and “New York” in silver, with grey pants. I can’t really explain it; I’ve just loved it since I first saw it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that said, I love the use of the number 0 and can't wait for a quarterback to use it. This might not be the thread for it, but the number 02 car with reminded me: I can see the day in team sports where numbers with leading zeros (01-09) are allowed in addition to 00 before triple-digit numbers are allowed (provided that there's not a enough unretiring of numbers). I often treat 00 as a two-digit shorthand of 100 on a team where both 0 and 00 are worn, so it wouldn't be that big a stretch that 01-09 could be treated as two-digit shorthand 101-109. That could also be a way to distinguish offensive players from defensive players in football (single-digit numbers for offensive players, kickers, and punters, 01-09 for defensive players). I thought the number rules were perfect pre 2020. But then again, so was the playoff format and the number of games in the season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna have to respectfully disagree with you I gave a reason why I hate leading zeroes, on the previous page Quote If you read on the card you'll be cheating on your heart.

Not his birth year, but DeAndre' Bembry wears 95 for his younger brother (born in 1995) who died 2 weeks before DeAndre was drafted. Similarly, Jason Collins wore number 98 in his second stint with the Nets (after having worn 35 the first time) in commemoration of the murder of Matthew Shepard.

He said that he did it because the chest protector's strap felt better when it fell between two digits. For Santiago, 09 was just a version of 9. However, the 1985 Blue Jays had another take on the matter. For that team, Al Oliver wore number 0, while Cliff Johnson wore number 00. So there the leading zero was interpreted as a significant digit, one that made the number different. By that standard, they could have had a player wearing 01 and a player wearing 1. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
