Reggie won't be wearing #5 this year

"The NFL Competition Committee rejected the request by Bush and other players to change their uniform numbering system for the 2006 season and Committee co-chairman Rich McKay doesn't see enough sentiment to change it in the future."

Not much of suprise in this decision, after all the NFL does stand for the No Fun League. I really don't know why they are so obsessed with keeping a number system but oh well. I don't really care what number Reggie wears, although I would have liked to have seen #5, I'm still buying his jersey. As long as he lives up to the hype I'll be happy. I'm hoping he goes for 23 or 25 now since he can't wear #5.

Reggie should wear number 42 in honor of the best RB in Saints history. Hopefully this 42 will have much better common sense.

Since they said they are unlikely to change it in the future as well, guess I won't be ordering that custom 5.

I wish he'd make a decision cause Im already seeing AJ Hawk, Vince Young and Chad Greenway jerseys for sale here. I really want my Bush jersey.
