As Tomegun said, you're blaming the wrong people. Try the people who made the rules, not the ones that have to enforce them. The ones enforcing the rules didn't get a vote. Has anyone ever met a referee that really cared if a number on a shirt was less than 3/4" wide?

As I've said many times before, the people making the rules (NFHS) are nearly all officials (or former officials). Only 1 or 2 coaches/administrators are involved.
I care...if that number is thin or small, it increases the odds that I'll make an error in reading the number or I'll have to take a lot more time to see it. It also makes it possible for the scorers, coaches, and people in the stands to identify players. Thin numbers become invisible at distances...particularly on game film made with poor equipment.
