Could be an old or practice uniform.

Some people just can’t have nice things. Or that’s what my wife tells me.

I've always wondered by old or practice uniforms would have illegal numbers. With the exception of making 1 and 2 legal several years back, there haven't been changes in the number rules in a LONG time. Why would anyone have ordered illegal numbers to start with?

A T? No chance. Spirit/intent trump an illegal number. Besides, just throw tape over whatever number to make it legal. Turn it inside out. Grab a T-shirt from someone's bag. Get an item from the lost and found. Do whatever but not a T.

Had a season-opener at a middle school several years ago. Uniform numbers were 1-15, inclusive. Coach was not happy about it.

"Our principal ordered them. He had no clue. He's a hockey guy."
