heymangold Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 i hate how restrictive the nfl is with uniforms. college teams have unlimited amount of uniforms, can use any number and it works fine. i'd love to see teams with alternate uniforms, mixing it up a bit. NBA, NHL all have tons of uniform combos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the Claw Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I’m not a big fan of the number change thing. In all honesty, it helps ME watch the game. IDGAF about the players. They’re compensated handsomely for their work. One more wrinkle ain’t gonna kill them. This was inevitable though, considering the league’s dumbest tradition: retiring jerseys #s.

football guy Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Wholeheartedly agree. It's absolutely going to confuse some personnel based on the scheme they run. I'm for expanding numbers to RBs and WRs, but I think it doesn't make any sense to allow TEs to wear those numbers because it's going to screw up some defenses, and I am vehemently opposed to LB/CB/S receiving numbers expansions because it will especially cause problems for OLs and QBs trying to identify LBs at the heat of the moment. Yes, they will adjust. Yes, defenses have become so multiple that it largely doesn't make sense anymore. But I totally get Brady's argument, and I also just don't like it at all. My preference would have been: QBs: 1-19 RBs: 1-49 WRs: 1-19, 80-89 TEs: 20-49, 80-89 OL: 50-79 DL: 50-79, 90-99 LB: 40-99 CB: 1-9, 20-49 S: 1-9, 20-49 K/P: 1-19 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case, your coaches and players are morons. Seriously. If that didn't hamper things for all these years - supposedly involving QBs or others on offense judging a player's role by uniform number - I'm not seeing how this is going to change things. Since there've already been such overlaps between adjacent position groups on the same side of the ball - regardless of the player's role on a given play - this is nonsense. Eff him and his reborn royalty treatment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is why does it matter if just about any player on D can do anything. If LB's could only defend the run or rush the passer but couldn't cover, and DB's could only cover and not rush or play the run, yeah, identifying a number would help knowing what he might do but since anyone can do all of those things, who cares . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peebag Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 For years the league has been changing the rules for benefitting the offensive side of the ball. Now they make one little uniform change and that affects both sides of the ball and a qb calls foul? F him right in the p*ssy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
