Here's the full text since this one has generated some questions:
The home team shall wear even numerals (which includes 0 and 00) and the visiting team shall wear odd numerals. Rationale: When there are two players wearing the same numerals on the court at the same time, it increases the changes [sic] of recording the wrong player with a foul violation at the time of the foul call. In the excitement of fast-moving game, such a mistake can occur with the presence of duplicate numerals. A change to an even-odd system of numerals may require more than one calendar year to set up, but once in place, it would aid officials and scorers and thus benefit the players and the game.
