Skinsfan 44:

Since teams change uniform designs about as often as players change underwear, they should retire players uniforms with their numbers on it but allow new uniform designs with the same number to be used.

The current Skins' uniform with a #44 on it does not look like the one Riggins wore in the early 80s. So hang up a picture of Riggins' #44 in the Ring of Honor but let someone else wear #44 on the field now.

BTW, did you see that John Elway said he would be glad to let Tatum Bell wear #7 for the Broncos next year. The price is that Bell needs to put up 2000 yards and 25 TDs this year. That would not be a bad deal for the Broncos! Maybe Gibbs should set really outrageous goals for players to be allowed to wear special numbers?
