Names on the Back?

[Triple B]

I'll add to the pile on. I don't see how a name on a jersey changes the selfishness quotient of a player

 

On or off, no big deal. The names are there for two major reasons, players' egos and tv viewers unfamiliar with the team. The majority of the people in the stadium cannot read the names without binoculars.

putting the word "team" on the jersey in lieu  of the name sounds like a pee wee league gimmick

It makes it easier for the school to justify their exploitation of the players when they are only referred to by number and not a name.

I don't give a **** if they have their names on the jerseys or not, I'm fairly familiar with the jersey numbers and if I'm not sure, I'll check the numbers at the next break in the action. All I care about is them not doing some crap like putting "The Team" there in lieu of names

It's funny how the times have changed.

 

I remember everyone liking the fact that we had no names on the back of the jerseys in the inaugural season.

Agreed. I think the consensus now, though, is that it's better to have names because most of us know some but not all the players' numbers. At least that's the case for me.

This is just a note:

 

USF had  winning seasons with the names.

 

 

USF has had a losing season without the names.

 

 

Not causation, but correlation
