But having him wear 5 puts more Saints jerseys out there, which gets us more national exposure, which means more $$$ in Uncle Tom's coiffures crippling him from being able to cry broke and move, especially if he doesn't use the outs he has for the end of this season. Give my man his 5, the more jerseys people buy, the more they are paying for the team to stay. IMO. I can understand the reverse sentiment though.

They'd probably still remember their boy, but I think that a Bush #5 Saints jersey will sell in SoCal, while a, say, #27 Bush jersey will not sell as much. Given the current situation, I'd prefer the NFL not see much interest or support for the Saints in SoCal, being that support the buying of #5 Saints jerseys, or watching on TV.

I think since we drafted Reggie Bush, there is absolutely no way around that, 5 or 27.
