Names and numbers tonight

Early indications (via periscope) it looks like it'll be easy to see #'s and hard as hell to read names on the jerseys. We shall see.

 
I'm surprised they always go with el cheapo iron-on numbers on alt jerseys. Is money really that tight?

 
There are teams that don't even have the names on the back so as long as I can read the numbers, unlike the last 2 alternates, I'm happy!

 
It's way too early to be able to say that for sure. Seeing them in sunlight is a lot different than at night.

I doubt it's cheap, it just looks crumby.

I have no idea how much they actually cost, they just always look like those cheap iron-on numbers you'd expect to see at a Jr. High 8-man game in Western Nebraska.

It may just be me, but I've always wondered why people need to see the names on the backs of jerseys to recognize who each player is.

I agree, maybe we are just too damn lazy to learn.

Since we are on the subject.

Why is it necessary to include JR on jersey names? How often have a SR and JR played on the same team in the same year?

BTN struggled coming back from half, trying to show both quarterbacks but had the wrong #4 for Nebraska.

I think that comes down to personal preference of the player. I can't remember who it was that had a SR. on their jersey one year, but it was to honor their kid, who was JR.

Johnny Stanton IV was a bit much, though.

 
Whoever came up with silver letters on a white jersey needs to be fired. Just leave the names off the jersey if nobody is supposed to be able to read it.

I thought they looked sweet, especially in the photos now after the game.

Again if you need to be able to see the name to tell the difference between Avery Anderson and Tommy Armstrong then that's on you as a fan.

 
I liked the uni's this week. I agree that that is was difficult to see the names. However, that didn't bother me one bit. I don't need to know their name to cheer for them.

It's not that I need the names. It's that the jerseys look ridiculous with almost legible names on them. Why have them at all if you can't read them?
