Do schools ever retire football jersey numbers? With 85+ players on any team, you quickly run out of numbers, especially when there are restrictions on positions wearing specific numbers. You'll end up with a situation like Duke basketball where the players are wearing "ugly" numbers like '53' because of all the numbers retired. I think some sort of a ring of honor for certain numbers and names and/or reserving certain numbers for players who have proved their worth.

I personally enjoy seeing '7' on the field and daydreaming about what the kid currently wearing the number will do.
