I know this may not be a big deal but I can't stand when I see somebody wearing 0 as a jersey number.
If anything, I think it would be better for teams to un-retire numbers of older players and put them in the ring of fame.
Numbers like 1, 4, 7, 14, 32, 40, 42. 50 for the Giants should be put back in circulation. 10, 11, 16, 56 and 92 are off limits IMO.
Thoughts?
I personally was never big on player numbers. I can remember a crazy long.last name but not their number.
I can tell you the height weight birthplace and basic stats of my many players.
But if you ask me what number they are I'll scratch my head and look for ways to leave the building.
would have been perfect for Golloday
I'm not. It still looks weird lol
I know others were concerned about officiating inconsistencies, but they can address that at 2:30-2:35 on Friday to beat the traffic.😉
Just so the jersey is just like the one you see in the magazine when building a custom jersey.
Yes this is dumb which is why I can see it happening.
But I do not care, zero is a digit and should be allowed.

I'm the complete opposite when it comes to names. I was always terrible at remembering player's names, especially if they had the same last name. Jerry Porter? Joey Porter? Forget it.
I was going to start a thread one day on how people remember all of these names. What's funny too is everybody who I grew up around I could rattle names off of the top of their heads, Tv announcers, everything. If a player has a name like Osi Umenyiora, they better make some big plays so their name comes up so I can learn it or else forget it! Or that other dude's name on the Milwaukee Bucks lol
Always looked weird.

I'm with you. Settling into my 40s nicely. Have mellowed with age but there's no shortage of dumb shit roll my eyes at.
Great Center and you get nothing from me. Zero.
I was thinking the same thing. Strange opinion to have.
Dude, I’ve heard of all of them. Title, Strong, Morrison, Blozis, Lemans…..I study NYG history. Just saying after so many years being retired it would be good to release them.
The Giants have 10 retired numbers, probably the most of any team. I get having great players and wanting to honor them and I appreciate it.
Once the player dies, the number should be unretired.
Yeah I won't lie, I think Gifford being a long time Giant and only played for the Giants should stay retired.
We have 12 retired numbers. Maybe half of the players numbers should be brought back into circulation:
The 5 below are numbers I think should be brought back:
1 - Ray Flaherty
4 - Tuffy Lemans
14 - YA Tittle
32 - Al Blozis
50 - Ken Strong
These 7 should remain retired:
10 Eli Manning
11 - Phil Simms
16- Frank Gifford
40 - Joe Morrison
42 - Charlie Connerly
56 - Lawrence Taylor
92 - Michael Strahan
Alive or dead, no one should ever wear 56 again
