kc51design Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Is it just me or are NBA players wearing more single digit numbers then before. 15-20 years ago major numbers were 23, 32, 33, 42, while now many many more single digit numbers are worn. I even spotted few times all 5 players on the court wore single digit numbers (Knicks, Celtics, Clippers, Suns...) lockerroom51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 This isn't totally bizarre persay, but Juwan Howard wore #5 with the Wizards and 10 years later so did Josh Howard. Which allowed my Juwan Howard jersey to become a Josh Howard jersey for one season.Same last name, same number, same team, same uniforms... that's at least a little bizarre/unique, i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_RH_ Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 00 really isn't all that uncommon of a number in baseball or basketball. In fact it's practically ubiquitous at the high school and college levels of basketball due to schools being discouraged (or even forbidden, the the case of the NCAA) from issuing any jerseys that feature an individual number higher than 5 (i.e. 10 or 53 is allowed, but not 17 or 46).I don't really follow NCCA basketball, but am surprised that I had no idea that this was a rule!On the "+", is that actually a team sanctioned letter on their jersey? Surely the stats sheet, etc. still lists them as 18 and 19, respectively?And another "Colt 45": Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoughRiders99 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Haha this has turned into "Who wears "0" or "00" thread"Unusual GK #1 for a midfielder Haha That's a great find!I don't get it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdinand Cesarano Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 This is a bit of a tangent (to "amusingly appropriate numbers), but how about Jordin Tootoo wearing 22Or Joseph Forte wearing number FortyThis is why I was disappointed that former DC United midfielder Santino Quaranta never wore no. 40, as "quaranta" means "forty" in Italian.On a related note, it would have been cool if former Liverpool goalkeeper Jerzy Dudek had worn no. 20, as "dudek" means "twenty" in Esperanto; but I didn't really expect that (even if both Dudek and the founder of Esperanto, L.L. Zamenhof, were from Poland).Has any team ever SIMULTANEOUSLY had a '0' and '00'? The Celtics have had numerous '0's since Parish's number was retired (Walter McCarty, Leon Powe, currently Avery Bradley)The 1985 Toronto Blue Jays had numbers 0 and 00 at the same time. Al Oliver wore no. 0; Cliff Johnson wore no. 00.This isn't totally bizarre [per se], but Juwan Howard wore #5 with the Wizards and 10 years later so did Josh Howard. Which allowed my Juwan Howard jersey to become a Josh Howard jersey for one season.Same last name, same number, same team, same uniforms... that's at least a little bizarre/unique, i thinkBoth Cliff Johnson and Randy Johnson wore no. 41 with the Yankees. (I hereby become the first person ever to achieve two Cliff Johnson mentions in a single post.)Both Jack Clark and Will Clark wore no. 22 with the Giants. But they wore different style unis; so no Jack Clark jersey could double as a Will Clark jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why a lot of high school associations adopted it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdinand Cesarano Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 There was a little trend at AC Milan of players wearing their birth years. Ronaldinho, Andriy Shevchenko, and Mathieu Flamini started this when they took nos. 80, 76, and 84, respectively, in 2008. Their current star striker Stephan El Shaarawy has continued this by taking no. 92; and newly-acquired defender Christian Zaccardo has followed his lead by taking no. 81.
