T-Mac or Nalo

I'm hoping that's temporary because.....so underwhelming.

He is one of the top selling rookie jerseys so it would kind of suck for those fans that have already ordered them.

I prefer Nalo but I don't know him well enough yet so I still use T-Mac.

You expecting to start hanging out?! lol

They aren't being made or shipped yet. Not an issue

Why?

He's been #4 throughout HS and College, I'd have been more surprised if he went with a different number having worn it for 7 years now.

Also, you can do this with either nickname.... 

N4LO or T-M4C

Pretty sure if you order from Fanatics, you get 1 year from purchase date to where if they change their number, they will swap it out for you anyways.  So if you wait to get one until just before the season and then next offseason he were to change his number, you might still be able to get it swapped out.

FWIW, I saw an interview where he said Nalo or TMac were both fine, just not T-Mac. no hyphen. Also, his mama hates "Tet".

 

I saw the interview where he says he is fine with either but his mom doesn't like Tet, but don't remember him saying about the no hyphen.

But I have seen that he doesn't use the hyphen on things like his twitter feed too, so I kinda want to stop using it myself, but I've been talking and reading about the kid for 3 years now and I've always used and seen it as T-Mac with the hyphen, hard habit to break, especially as without the hyphen it looks a little odd to me too.

Certain numbers i don't want to see used again for a Panther and 4 is one of them.  Also 4 is dumb for a WR

N4LO is pretty cool

The team shop has a note about nothing being shipped until numbers are finalized and only guarantee before the season starts. All team shops have the note on thr pre-orders

Well it's been used since him already, and sure, he's a Panthers legend, but he's still just a kicker and not a HOFer, so it's just not a number I'd want to see go un-used again, it's not 89, 90, 1, 59, or even 58 or 88, all numbers I think should be untouchable way before 4.

I'd have said 4 is a dumb WR number 4 years ago too, but I've become so used to watching him in the number the last 3 years that it just fits for me now.  With his tall but slender frame, he needs to wear a single digit number or 11, I think anything else double digit would just look wide and wonky on him.

Which really means it came down to 4, 5, or 11 if he wasn't going to try and pay for a number from someone else.  I could see the argument for 11, it would look good on him, but again, I'm so used to him in 4 that I now like how it looks on him, so I'm happy with it myself.

I hated it when another kicker used 4 as well.  You have your opinion and I have mine.

I get it, but you have to draw a line in the sand somewhere when you're retiring or even just not using numbers.

If we're not using 4, we shouldn't be using any of 1, 58, 59, 69, 85, 87, 88, 89, 90, and I could make an argument for 17, 95, 20, or 30 in there as well.  For me, you can't retire a number unless the player is (or really should be) a HOFer and spent most of their career with that team.

1, 59, 89, and 90 really should be our only retired numbers, if you're going to make an argument for a non HOFer and you can only choose one, I'd go 58 over 4.

But I get it, everyone has their own opinions on that stuff.

The team said he would be 4 a week ago
