It would have been cool for Reggie to be No. 5, but I am glad the NFL denied it because other guys don't need to be outside of the alotted 30 numbers.

I think the numbering system in the NFL is pretty stupid. It really makes no sense to have it at all. Just use the NCAA/high school rules, 50-79 are ineligable recievers and can only be worn by lineman on offense. That is the only numbers that need to be kept "seperate" to help the refs, their is no reason why other positions should be limited to certain numbers. Mario Willaims rocking #9 at defensive end was pimp, #90 is not.

Reggie should pull a Greg Jones or Edgerin James and rock a two digit number that adds up to their single digit college number.

I wonder if he is still gonna wear #5 practice jersey like Deion or Charles Woodson (both wear #2 practice jerseys)

profootballtalk.com thinks that changing the rule would be the downfall of the NFL. All the old people I talk to about it say the same thing. The fucking rule was invented in like 1970. The NFL was around for about 50 years by then. To say that changing your number does anything to the sport or to tradition is so idiotic. Seriously. Anyone who argues that point really just pisses me off.

Carson Palmer is looking pretty sexy on the cover of Sports Illustrated this week. So he should reinjure his leg sometime soon.

lol How would changing the rule ruin the NFL? A lot of NFL rules are so dumb, the worst is having to wear a sock with two different colors. Where the hell did that come from and why do poeple think it looks good?

I think there is plenty of other things that seperate the NFL from NCAA football, most notably the quality of the players. Don't need stupid uniform rules to establish this.

The NFL is the professional league, with the professional standards which include sound uniforms. College football is amateur and it comes right down to the uniforms. A team like Florida has a look that can not be replicated in the NFL, and I think that is good for both the NFL and the NCAA.

Actually the socks really aren't "uniform" becuase they aren't all the same. Each player can pick how much white or how much team color they wany showing, they just need to have each others showing. So guys like Mike Vick wear a sock that is like 95% red and 5% while other players could be wearing the traditional %25 red %75 white

I'm pretty sure the NFL is really strict about the sox so that they don't cover up too much of the colored thing. I remember Moss used to always get fined for that.

That's gay though. The NFL is pro. It's like Hollywood. They need to make it LESS like college, where college is like... "Yeah you can put stickers on your helmet, BUT, you can't do anything else." I wanna see some face paint, some greater hits, some end zone taunts, some fun. I love that. I want to see personality. But whatever.

Isn't it also true that you can't have any of your skin showing between your pants and socks? O_o

YOU KNOW WHAT I MISS?

BELLIES HANGING OUT OF JERSEYS. That was the greatest thing in the world, when a jersey was just too small and a guy's gut was swinging freely in the breeze. When did they stop that? It was so awesome.

Yeah you can't have any skin showing

And that look with the half shirts kinda went out of style I guess? It used to be big in college.

It was kind of an 80's thing really, but some dudes in the 90's kinda did it but it wasn't as ridiculous

Well I don't think its an instant fine, I am sure they have time to get them back up. Knowing the NFL though probably not.

Somehow 2 different colored socks is more professional looking then every memeber of the team wearing socks of the same length/color? As long as its uniform between all the memebers of the team then it should be fine. I don't understand why they don't just use crew socks or something, it is pretty obvious the majority of the players would rather do that. I went to a Patriots training camp practice and I think 3 guys out the entire team had high socks on, so I think that right there shows the players' stance on the issue.

Stima, I'm not sure where you got the two-colored socks thing. Outside of the Patriots, I'm pretty sure most teams wear a colored thing (not a sock) around their lower legs and then a normal sock. There are all kinds of regulations in terms of the length of the actual sock, but I've never heard it has to be two colors.



See this is how most teams wear their socks. The blue part isn't an actual sock, it's like the thing AI wears on his left arm but for your leg, or else it could be tights. The sock is just a normal white sock.

Players do that sometimes, or they just wear the 2 different colored high socks. Sock or sleeve or whatever, it doesnt really matter, the rule is dumb.

They even see the 2 different colored socks..
http://www.eastbay.com/catalog/produ...166809&sport=0

They must have both colors showing, I believe it has to be something like alteast one inch of each color. The length the sock must be up to pad level so no skin is showing, it doesn't matter how much of the white or how much of the "team color" is showing, as long as their atleast one inch of both (Obviously if their only one inch of one color, there is going to be way more of the other) That is why Michael Vick can wear sock that is about 95% red and not get fined. Randy Moss got fined because he probably just wore an all purple sock, or something to that extent.


Portis got fined wearing that and I agree that he should have because that just looks stupid.

But at the sametime Shawn Springs gets fined every game because he wears his pants short and above his knee caps, which is pretty ridiculous. Why does that matter? He probably thinks it effects his performance.

They have also banned tinted eyesheilds unless they are needed to protect a players eyes(must provide a doctors note to wear one lol what is this 5th grade?) Such a dumb rule, the mirror tinted Oakley visors are the shit.

The guy standing behind Portis seems to be wearing like tights under his socks, where as in the pic you posted of Warner, it looks like he is wearing a 2 different colored sock. I dont really know why any of that matters tho lol, I just saying 2 different colored sock to make it easier, but yeah they do use both styles.

This has got to be the most dominant discussion on these boards EVER. Anyway, I'm pretty sure you have to have more of the team color than one inch. The reason Portis was fined for that picture is because the team was supposed to wear white socks on red and he wore red on red. (I ran into it while researching for this thread)

You are getting too much into specifics. I don't really care about the exact limitations but the players have a certain window where they are allowed to wear a certain amount of each color. So each player could have a different percentage of one color showing in aspects to the other player, thus eliminating the "uniform effect" So their reasoning behind the stupid looking socks is, well, stupid.

College uniforms look way better than NFL ones (Talking about overall unifrom, pants jersey helmets socks etc) and I really don't get why the NFL does not realize this. They could capitalize on something like that and make even more money.

If it ain't broke don't fix it. Its not hurting the NFL to have uniform rules and theres no real reason to change it. Probably not a big contributor but theres a reason that the NFL is the most well run professional league in America.

The NFL is the daddy of all football leagues. They're like the WWE in that they swallow every other league whole. Football has the most allure of any sport anymore. It's not hard to "run the NFL right."

And I promise you that letting Reggie Bush wear #5 and "619" under his eyes is not going to make a lick of difference. It might actually improve things.

They better enforce the hair rule and make Troy Polamalu get a haircut. And I think they should eliminate visors, because those give certain people a "personalized look," as well.

Yep. Tattoos, too. Cut 'em out.

The NBA also has a strict uniform policy and that league is a complete mess. Remember a few years back when they said Kobe's shorts were too long?

Yeah I think some uniform rules need to be inplace to keep the game looking professional, but the majority of them are flat out stupid. I am not saying changing the policies would bring in more ratings or something, I am just saying the curret look of the socks are stupid.


That visor is pimp, banned by the NFL though. Apparently that "depersonalizes" the game since we can't see his eyes. haha I can't even tell that is McGahee without seeing his eyes, I mean since it is so easy to see a guys eyes with a helmet on

I actually prefer the NFL socks in the NFL, if that makes sense. It wouldn't be the same to see NFL players wearing short socks, it's like a trademark of college football.

And what I was saying is that you are wrong about the length of the white sock. Yes, a certain percentage of each must be showing, but you can't do like 95-5. The 1/2 inch rule that you are thinking of is the amount of skin that is allowed at the top.

Yeah I dont really care about the exact percentage. I am pretty sure players are allowed to have like, lets say 50/50 or like 60/40 or like 30/70. It still eliminates the NFLs excuse that they want all the socks to look the same, becuase they don't.

Also there is plenty of college teams that do wear the NFL style of socks too and it look just as dumb, so saying it seperates the NFL from NCAA isn't relaly true. Not even every team in the NFL wheres the 2 different colored socks, Patriots have a style where there is just 3 stripes on the top. Redskins have a style where it is like 3 brown/3 gold strips. I just don't get why they came up this look and who thinks it looks good. It is the most ridiculous thing ever to wear two different colored socks and I really don't understand where it came from.
