Bernard number change. From 43 to 8.

[Beast]

All you people like @Jay_Fixit that held onto their Moorman jerseys can now just buy a name plate.

Lots of complaints on the twitter thread from the Bills that people saved their money for his 43 jersey and changes it already.

[MrEpsYtown]

Well now he has the money to buy back the 43s.

 

I figured Bishop would get 8, but I guess he hasn’t earned it yet. 

[Warcodered]

I guess one of his numbers at Baylor was 26, so 2+6 I guess. He was also 2, hopefully he's not going to change it again though, I mean I can't imagine they like them changing it too often....then again merch.

Never again will I have to recheck three times per game "was that Bernard or Benford?"

[Starr Almighty]

For some reason I thought he got a salary cut 🤣 when I read the title.

[Kirby Jackson]

Much better looking number

Maybe it's me just being old school, but I miss LB numbers in the 50's.  I know you still see them, but they are not nearly as popular as they once were with players.  I mean, 8 will be fine for him, but I am still one of the few that like to see LBs in the 50s, WRs in the 80s, OL in the 60s, DL in the 90s, and CB in the 20s.  I will say I don't mind WRs and RBs in the single digits, but it's nice to see a throwback once in a while as well.  Like Hoecht taking 55.....perfect.

Maybe I’m old and crotchety, but I prefer my linebackers wearing numbers in the 50s …. Just made them look bigger and meaner 😂

Completely agree and I'd go one step forward and say that I want RB's in the 20's and 30's.  WR's in the teens or 80's.  CB's and Safeties in the 20's or 30's.  Single digit numbers should be reserved for QB's, punters, and kickers.  Get rid of the stupid number 0.  The constant changing of numbers is pry good for NFL jersey sales but it drives me crazy.

8 is a good number for a small undersized LB. Now we can really feel like we have a WR playing MLB.

Blasphemy. How dare he choose Moorman's number?

i wonder what the total  number of jersey sales for all punters in the NFL all time would be?

< 1000 total?

And Moorman was probably 1/2 that number!

Now I just have Dorian Williams left to deal with. 

[Warriorspikes51]

But why?

 

I can’t stand this whole numbers thing. They should have kept numbers more limited to positions

[Kaenon]

I like the look.

8 is dope.

[Maynard]

Great, I have a 43 jersey. Now what?

[Richard Noggin]

Got some geezers yelling at clouds in this one...

 

Tom Brady also doesn't like all the randomness with jersey numbers now. Do you really want to be aligned with Tom Brady?

If the majority opinion is the relaxed numbers rule suck is it really "old man yells at clouds?"
