Football Jerseys
At AmericanFootballJersey.com we aim to bring you the latest news from the NFL and college games, taking a special look at the players who wear the games fabled jerseys.
In 1973 the current National Football League system was put in place to aid officials and fans alike in identifying players on the field. The players numbers are related to the postition on the field in which they play, those numbers generally assigned to players today are:
1 to 19 - Quarterbacks, placekickers & punters
10 to 19 & 80 to 89 - Wide Receivers
20 to 49 - Running backs & defensive backs
50 to 79 - Offensive linemen
50 to 59 & 90 to 99 - Linebackers
60 to 79 & 90 to 99 - Defensive Linemen
80 to 89 - Tight Ends
40 to 49 - Spares (if all others taken)
Some players have asked the NFL to be able to wear a number on their jersey which does not relate to the system, in 2006 Reggie Bush of the New Orleans Saints asked to keep the number 5 which he used at USC the NFL are strict with their rules though and his request was denied.
The same happened to Brian Bosworth of the Seattle Seahawks in 1987, they tried listing him as a safety so he could wear number 44, but as he was a linebacker, the NFL clamped down on it and he wore that number on his jersey for just one game against Kansas City Chiefs until he had to revert to number 55 on his uniform.
Only during preseason when clubs have expanded rosters are players found to be wearing numbers outside of these rules, once the final roster is submitted for the season, all players will have jersey numbers that abide by the football leagues rules.
