NFL players can now wear number '0'

[Tainthappening]

So...if #1 was a hot dog number back in the day, how will #0 be viewed?

 

[Superbelt]

A single-digit number would look weird on a big ugly.

00, would be fine.

Darnell Washington will look very good in a Patriots uniform!

What a dumbass change.

One of the best things about NFL was you could recall a # and know what position it was based on that #. It was something that helped when refs are talking through penalties (although it may have been obvious) or personal fouls, etc. to get an early diagnosis on who was at fault. Despite them getting the #s wrong from time to time, usually it was accurate.

Whatever. And NCAAF is a joke anyway. The only reason to watch that is for players who may transition to the NFL. The rest of everyone that watches that are a bunch of losers that fill out fantasy brackets or just root for the same high end schools that dominate recruiting every year.

Watch Rutgers football. They suck at recruiting and you'll drink heavily.

Parsons will buy a boatload of #11's in stock. Guess we kinda knew he'd be the Dallas player opting for #0.

How do they determine which player gets '0' if more than one wants it? I figure seniority factors in.

...including DL and OL.

In addition, kickers can now wear numbers 0-49 and 90-99.

Essentially, it'll look like college.

Logical next question, will 0 and 00 be considered different numbers, like they are in the NBA?

Should. You can look at it as...7 and 17...8 and 18, etc. Kinda like that...I guess.

They're is no 00.

They'll have to make that addition in a future year. Jeff Lurie said someone could ask for it next year and he'd support it.

Can you think of another QB worthy of mention who wore #19 besides John Unitas? I cannot.

Aikman was better than Young in big games and at the very least deserves 2nd place for 8.
Even for a GMen fan.
