Jersey Numbers Most Famously Used by which Athlete?

[Eagles own the NFC East]

Which athlete comes to mind when you think of this jersey number kind of like that. I saw this in the NFL section few weeks ago and thought would be interesting for all sports

0- Gilbert Arenas
2- Derek Jeter
3- Allen Iverson
4- Adam Vinatieri
5- Reggie Bush (even though he wears 25 now)
7- Michael Vick
10- Brady Quinn
13- Alex Rodriguez
15- Vince Carter
20- Brian Dawkins
21- Deion Sanders (even though he is retired)
23- Michael Jordan (see above)
24- Champ Bailey
34- David Ortiz

all for now

[Jughead10]

Is this all time? Because I think of Ruth and Gehrig as #3 and #4. Might as well throw out Dimaggio and Mantle as #5 and #7. I also think of Elway with #7.

[WinslowBodden]

When I think 24, I think Griffey Seattle, not Bailey.

[Philliez01]

Wayne Gretzky - 99
Jackie Robinson - 42

[go_ravens94]

#98-TONY SIARAGUSA (Just Kidding)

52-rAY Lewis

[Charm City Byrdgang]

00- Robert Parrish
8- Cal Ripken Jr
33- Larry Bird
50- David Robinson
92- Reggie White

also Barry Sanders> Ed Reed > Brian Dawkins for number 20.


EDIT: Adam Vinateri over Brett Favre? This list is pretty bad.

[drowe]

for #4, i think i'd take Favre over Vinitieri

[dabears10]

I'd give 99 to George Mikan, but that's probably just me.

[bored of education]

0- Orlando Woolridge

[dabears10]

16 Joe Montana and 8 Steve Young.

Wasn't there a book written about this...

[RyanLeaf#1]

22 Emmitt Smith
1 Penny Hardaway
5 Jason Kidd
88 Eric Lindros
55 Jason Williams
66 Mario Lemieuz
68 Jamr Jagr
77 Paul Coffey

84- Randy Moss (the good ole days)

[terribletowel39]

i agree with all that #4 is easily brett favre. everyone knows favre name. also i agree with the guy that said barry sanders > ed reed > dawkins.

[Scar]

Just off the top of my head, may add more later, but most of these are the guys that seem pretty indisputable as being the iconic figure of their number.

12-Tom Brady
13-Dan Marino

80-Jerry Rice
99-Wayne Gretzky

[draftguru151]

Dan Marino>A Rod.

[Jimmy]

[Moses]

I'd give 99 to George Mikan, but that's probably just me.

[Im_a_Romosexual]

45- Pedro Martinez

more when I think of them

[Xonraider]

00 is Jim Otto
10 is probably Maradona, not any football player.

[dabears10]

00 is Jim Otto
10 is probably Maradona, not any football player.

No love for Pele? 10 is probably the greatest number in soccer for any team, it is primarily given to the forward because originally you wore the number that corresponding with position as 1 starting with the Goalie etc.etc.

[iowatreat54]

00 is Jim Otto
10 is probably Maradona, not any football player.

10 IS pele if you are going soccer...there's no argument
20 is barry sanders...no way is/will it ever be dawkins
34 = sweetness
31 greg maddux
51 randy johnson
33 scottie pippen (just cuz I'm from chicago)
91 rodman

and...
5 drew tate
18 chad greenway
52 abdul hodge
:D

[Addict]

14 Cruijff
18 Manning
22 Emmitt Smith

99 is gretsky, no contest
66 is lemieux.

[VoteLynnSwan]

12-Jared Lorenzen
22-Jared Lorenzen(college)

[bearsfan_51]

Walter Payton is an icon. David Ortiz is a great player but give me a break. I doubt many people that aren't baseball buffs will remember him 30-40 years from now.

Not to mention that baseball players aren't as well known by their numbers.

I'd throw out 51 for Dick Butkus. Or me.

I think baseball players are more well known by their numbers. Especially past ball players.

[liquidswords]

22 - Mike Bossy
8 - Cam Neely
56 - Lawrence Taylor
27 - Rodney Hampton
34 - Bo Jackson

[kalbears13]

#32 Jim Brown
#3 Babe Ruth

[iowatreat54]

I agree with BF51...Walter Payton is a football icon and legend...everyone who knows remotely anything about football thinks of him when the #34 appears...while Ortiz is a very very good player right now, there is no way he can be considered more associated with the #34 than Walter Payton is...maybe 30 years from now if Ortiz has over 600 HRs, multiple MVPs, and leads the BoSox to another title or two, then maybe he can be considered...

[Eagles own the NFC East]

I did mostly active players just added in notable retired ones. Damn I cant believe i forgot Farve yeah I think his number 4 is much for famous then Vinatieri.

There is argument for Pele. Maradona is considered by many the best of all time, but he did drugs.

[The Dynasty]

No love for Pele? 10 is probably the greatest number in soccer for any team, it is primarily given to the forward because originally you wore the number that corresponding with position as 1 starting with the Goalie etc.etc.

When i think 10 for Soccer i think Ronaldinho but thats just me.

48 - Briere?

[Go_Eagles77]

also Barry Sanders> Ed Reed > Brian Dawkins for number 20.



I agree with Sanders over Dawkins but not Reed, Brian Dawkins has been the leader and symbol of the Eagles for a long time. Also Reed may not even be wearing #20 if it wasn't for Dawkins, who he has acknowledged modeling his game after.

[GB12]

Viniteri over Favre?! Absolutely terrible.

[BuckNaked]

No way Ty Law and Kobe Bryant should be ahead of Willie Mays for 24.

[Phrost]

Bobby Orr isn't even the most recognized #4 in Boston, because of a kicker? Ouch.
