Trivial but why not? Should the NHL allow players to wear 0 and 00 ?

[Kingfan1967]

We need Roman Numerals for Las Vegas and Ottawa

 

[barkovcanfinnish]

why not

more numbers to wear that way

 

[Cursed Lemon]

There was a guy in my beer league in Nashville who was a portly fellow and he wore "747" on his jersey

 

[Kryten]

It is a miracle the numbers havent been replaced by advertisements at this point

 

[JianYang]

Sure why not, can’t believe they thought this topic was important enough to ban in the first place.

Working on the important problems I guess.

Yeah, it reminds me of when Canada changed the national anthem a few years ago to get rid of "sons"... As if the world was merry and we didn't have focus on other complex issues at the time.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Yes. And 0 and 00 are different numbers, so both could be worn by different players on the same team.

 

[Rafafouille]

Some do. I’m pretty sure Greg mckegg wore it in toronto

Only in preseason. He went with #39. Only two guys in NHL history wore 69. Mel Angelstad for the capitals for all of his 2 games NHL career in 2004 and Andrew Desjardins for his first two seasons with the sharks in 2011 and 2012.

 

[Kaiden Ghoul]

Ok, but what about #69? Perfectly good number, has a certain symmetry to it. But no one wears it. Can’t figure out why.

Goal scored by number 69 Ben Lovejoy

Yes. And 0 and 00 are different numbers, so both could be worn by different players on the same team.

Golden state warriors have jonathon kuminga 00 and donte devincenzo 0

 

[Terry Yake]

neil sheehy wore #0 for the whalers

 

[Jack Spider]

If trolling isn’t specifically against the rules, I don’t see why not.

 

[tarheelhockey]

Imagine having the option to wear #0 and specifically demanding to wear #00.

I don’t even know what category of personality that would fit into.

 

[jetsforever]

Doesn't really matter but I don't like them as jersey numbers, especially 00 since it is still just 0

 

[Backcheckmonster3]

Cool opinion, into the trash it goes

Actually a ZERO suits you like a charm.

 

[DingerMcSlapshot]

Changing the lyrics was the right thing to. It didn't put complex issues on the back burner.

 

[Albatros]

Also free #01 to #09.

 

[PK]

Also free #01 to #09.

If there is 00, it doesn’t make sense not to include those as well.

 

[PK]

And while we’re at it, why not “-1” - “-9”? Those are numbers as well. If you add 0, there’s no much reason not to include those too.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

I wouldn't mind going for triple digits or slowly opening it up to 100 to 199.

Idk I'd leave 00 and 0 alone.

 

[Siludin]

"What you think you're some special boy? Needs a special number? Prove it, and we'll make the number you do choose a special number."
That's the reason

 

[ManofSteel55]

I would say either "0" or "00", but not both.

 

[Rodgerwilco]

I'd love it if they did this. #0 and #00 are awesome jersey numbers and I'd definitely buy one. I already plan to get a #0 NFL jersey, as they just re-instated it this year.

I've worn 0 in every sport that has allowed me to do this. I even wore #000 in a rec league for a couple seasons. I don't see any logical argument against it.

 

[Hisch13r]

Yeah

 

[TBF1972]

00 is a no go

how can you give a hockey player like trouba the license to kill.

 

[dukedukowski]

Cubs Pitcher, Stroman is on mound tonight. He wears zero
0
