To some, having TV numbers of Western Kentucky is kind of a folly in itself. As in, “when is Western Kentucky ever on TV?” Touché.
But teams still have to have TV numbers. But if they look like that, I’d have to ask why they’re even bothering. And aren’t they supposed to be six inches? Or four inches? Or some standard size?
And no, for those wondering, Oregon didn’t wear its space duck leotard wondersuit (now with lazers and shit!) last night. That was the rumor, you know. In this situation, I couldn’t say, “Oregon, you’re dead to me,” because, well, you know … Bryan
Are college football teams required to have TV numbers? I thought that was an NFL mandate.
Nope. Minnesota’s new jerseys don’t have them.
I wonder how long they’ll continue the all-white trend on the road? That’s probably my least favorite combination they have this year…
“Anybody working on fixing those TV numbers?”
“Yeah, we’ve got link.”
Virginia Tech’s new unis (you know, the god awful ones they wear with the alternate sleeve colors… the orange ones they’ve been torturing us fans with this season… seriously, we have worn Maroon jerseys for 10 years straight, and November will be the first time we actually wear a maroon jersey this year… wtf) don’t have TV numbers. Now, our ‘throwback’ LSU ripoffs have wonderful tv numbers, so I guess you could say we have them half the time?
The bad news is, those TV numbers are truly ineffective. The good news is, their helmet inventory doesn’t consist of pots and pans.

Does anyone know what was on the side of David Ortiz’ helmet in Friday night’s game? It looked like there was a message written.
It’s not the size that counts for the WKU television numbers. The whole point is that TV number should be easily visible for identification purposes.
Those don’t qualify.

I imagine as long as they keep winning in them, they’ll stick with them. Personlly, I thought last week’s all-maroon was the low point. Very high school. Very Arena league. Texas, for one, seems to do just fine in white over white.
But you’re right, white-white takes some getting used to as a look for the Gophers. Haven’t been white-white since about 1957 or so.

Okay, on jerseys, I meant.
from wiki…so it must be true:
[quote]A system of assignment of jersey numbers was initiated in American football’s NFL in 1952; it was updated and made more rigid in 1973. Numbers are always worn on the front and back of a player’s jersey, and so-called “TV numbers” are worn on the sleeve or shoulder. The Cincinnati Bengals were the last NFL team to wear jerseys without “TV numbers” on a regular basis in 1980, though since then several NFL teams have worn throwback uniforms that predated “TV numbers” without them, since as of 2008 “TV numbers” are not mandated under current NFL rules.[/quote]
by the by…they’re also not required in college

So if “TV numbers” are no longer mandated by the NFL, could an NFL team design a jersey without TV numbers in the future?

Maybe it is redundant, but NFL teams do it, too – the Patriots and Panthers, for example. But I’d guess that fans like having the helmet logos on the jerseys when they wear the replicas.

Those Fleer photos must have been taken at a preseason or early season photo session or game, cuz Maynard started cutting off his sleeves supershort that year, so he ended up having no TVs (he’d have cut off the bottom half of the his “13”) while everyone else did have them.
That photo of Titans chasing Billy Cannon is from ’60, of course. For Titans, no shoulder loops, darker (old) gold (the color they are mistakenly wearing now with the ’61 unis), two navy stripes on pants (no white), plain socks. ’60 was only year of that uni. Plus, was only season Oilers wore arabic numbers edged in red. For ’61 and several seasons thereafter were standard white block numbers with no red on home jerseys at all.

The TV numbers on WKU’s uniforms look fine to me. Then again, I purchased my television sometime after 1960.
I could see how someone with a 13″ black-and-white television receiving a signal with a soon-to-be-outdated set of rabbit ears might have trouble making out the numbers on the shoulder/sleeve. However, in 2008, most televisions are able to clearly display practically a full spectrum of colors and contrasts. Rather clearly, too, I might add. (I have seen screenshots of the handwritten notes on shoes, caps, etc. on this very blog site)
I suppose what I am wondering is: are TV numbers really a necessity anymore? Is anyone sitting at home really having trouble figuring out who just made the tackle or scored the TD?
One additional note:
Didn’t Washington State University wear those exact (WKU) jerseys a few seasons ago?

Would be a lot better if it were real grass or mud below the players, instead of the plastic.
Anyone else rooting for a Penn State-Alabama National Championship game?
Two classic uniforms on the big stage.
