CheeseHusker Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I think the NFL should loosen numbering conventions slightly, and I think the NCAA should tighten theirs slightly. Perhaps they could be designed to compliment each other somehow. I think backs and receivers should be allowed to wear teens and single digits if they want to, and linebackers should be allowed numbers in the 40s. I remember the kerfuffle with Reggie Bush asking for #5 and being rejected. He's a running back.... nobody's going to confuse him with a tackle. Eventually it is going to be necessary anyway.... the Packers and other teams are already giving out single digits to receivers during preseason because they've run out of "proper" ones.I'm in favor of keeping strict rules for guards, tackles, linebackers though. Obviously tackle-eligibility rules rely on these, so there's a place for them... but I don't see the harm in letting a wideout wear #6 instead of #16 if he wants to.Conversely, I think in college it's too loose. I hate seeing a single digit number on a linebacker and #96 on a kicker.Also, colleges should not be allowed to retire numbers, as there are often 100+ players on a roster and there should be as few duplicates as possible.

tubby34 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 <p>Baseball:Primaries should be white (home) and gray (road)The helmet should match the cap. I suppose I can give a pass on stars/stripes day (but that's a whole other can of worms YES. I hate seeing the Marlins wearing orange caps but black helmets. I know for a fact that the Marlins HAVE orange batting helmets. The marlins shelved the orange helmets as it wasn't the right color- I have the helmet on my shelf here at home- it's much darker If I remember correctly.

-kj Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I generally agree about contrasting-panel caps being dumb. I also want to see sock/stirrup, damnit. But screw pullovers.

But most of those elements are standard practice, so they don't stick out like a sore thumb when they become over saturated. White panel hats are not a standard practice. So, when multiple teams adopt it, it loses its unique factor real quick.It's much the same as tapered stripes on football pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
