Were the players actually wearing those numbers during a game?
In high school we used practice jerseys with illegal numbers so the coach could differentiate between varsity and sub-varsity guys during mixed squad scrimmages. For example, each squad might be made up of 5 varsity players, 3 JV players and 3 sophomore players. Only the 5 varsity players had legal numbers. I think they might also have been used by the football team for scrimmages as well. The 50-79 series of jerseys were also worn and stretched more than most of the other jerseys.
