Saints jersey number changes (2 Viewers)

Nothing Earth-shattering. I do like Williams' change.

I disapprove of Bowden's change and any other change involving these god-forsaken amateur rules numbers.

Looks sloppy and out of order with all the random numbers running around on the field on offense or defense.

So, Hedley keeps 39?

Yep...never before have I watched football and seen players making plays, and afterwards having to wonder what position they were playing.

I don't know why, but it's different when it's the amateur levels. Maybe because we care less since the players aren't going to be there very long anyway? Or perhaps it's the fact that most people, including avid college football fans, don't know 99% of the rest of the country's players outside of their own favorite teams' and a few of the top guys around the nation?

I rather liked the 59 on Jaylon, too bad.

He's worn 54 at his previous stops, so I understand that change.

As a Certified Jersey Number/Swag/Gear/Look license holder, I must say I actually prefer 54 to be honest.

I like williams with the 21

Also in college, the good players get the single digit numbers. (I assume its some kind of recruiting or motivational tactic?)

In the NFL, its whatever scrub feels like they want it.

They weren't making the team anyway so safeties, wide receivers, corners with single digit number or numbers in the teens were at the bottom of the depth chart now they are starters.

Figured there would be some changes, thanks for sharing. I knew 21 would get snatched up, it's a coveted number. Glad Jake got a better number, 14 is so goofy looking.

Wouldn't get too bent out of shape over Bowden taking 5, I can't imagine he will be here long term but you never know.

Would have thought Grupe would take 5. He is so small, a single digit may have looked better.

Giving me Mike Bell vibes from the 09 team.

New numbers don't bother me. I don't care what number a guy wears. Their body type gives me an idea of their position and if you are up to date with your team then you'll probably know who's who.

Hate the wide-open league number system.
