Why do they wear them out? Because some officials don't enforce the rule.

That rule explains a question I had on a different topic. I did radio for a game where the kicker wore the number zero. As he came on to the field the referee pointed him back to the sideline where the kicker changed jerseys. The new one had the number two on it.
I was unaware zero was not allowed. Thanks.
