Is jersey #1, which is not a current player's number I believe. Did I miss something where teams are no longer allowed to sell jerseys with current players' numbers?
The game jersey Pitt is selling
- Thread starter Sean Miller Fan
- Start date
The whole thing with selling jerseys or using players likeness has programs just using generic numbers like 1 or 12 for 12th man. You most likely won't see specific numbers again.
Yea, I thought that might be the case but did that just start this year? They were selling Boyd's last year.
I'd go out on a limb and call it a Larry Fitzgerald jersey. Already bought one, along with the Pitt-OK State tickets. It was too nice to pass up 
Can't wait to get my Cedric McGee jersey.I'd go out on a limb and call it a Larry Fitzgerald jersey. Already bought one, along with the Pitt-OK State tickets. It was too nice to pass up
Everybody. I think school's can select three numbers they want sold but that's as far as it goes.
No idea, but I'm pretty sure everyone is going to do this, especially since everything is still in the courts.
Could be wrong, but I think you are just going to see generic jersey numbers going forward.
I agree with it as I think it was wrong to profit off of amateurs but in saying that, I would have bought a Conner or Whitehead, but wont buy #1.
This is a huge opportunity for the Chinese websites, that's for sure.
I think the number doesn't matter, they just don't put names on them. I own one Pitt jersey, from the Shady Era and its #25, no name.
The number does matter if it is specifically targeting certain players. They have never put the names on if it is NCAA or university selling it. But the players in the O'Bannon suit have stated that even the specific numbers are profiting off the players. Like you said, 25 during the shady era was profiting off of shady. In SMF's example above, if Pitt had 24 and 9 on sale this year, everyone knows it's targeting Connor and Whitehead.
That is why going forward, you will see 0, 1, or 12 most likely every year.
Is this new? Even in the last few years, I've seen numbers targeting popular players. Like 23 last year.
