Jersey numbering options?

[Mr. Scot]

The Kansas City Chiefs have suggested a rule change to the NFL's Jersey numbering system. According to Albert Breer, the proposal would allow players other than offensive and defensive linemen to wear any number from 1 to 49.

Josh Klein commented on some possible Panther choices.

My guess would be because some players would like to be able to wear their old high school / college numbers.

I'm not necessarily a big fan of the idea because I'm a grumpy old man and I don't necessarily want the NFL to look more like the NCAA, but realistically it's probably no big deal.

I can't imagine anyone cares either other than equipment managers.

Keep the players happy, good.

I just want 0 and or 00 to be able to be worn.

Don't think that's in the proposal, at least not that I've seen.

Doesn't sound like they're going to allow kickers to wear numbers in the 90s either.

I have the full spectrum of Custom jerseys (blue, black, and white) with my name an '0' on them. Gotten them over the years as birthday presents and I love them. The single 0 looks awesome. 0 is a slept on number and it's not fair.

You want to give that one to Bridgewater?

I had to look up the current rules:

Only as long as they make every kicker wear 99 and every punter wear 72.

No thanks.

I think they should allow fractions and decimals, but that is just me.
