Yeah, can't trust those younger officials. They should have age limits.

btw, I don't know what level or in what leagues you coach (not you, the OP) but one way of ensuring you don't get run over by some overly officious official is to take your concern to whoever assigns officials to your games. Also, most officials associations have an interpreter, discuss with him or bring it up at your yearly interpreter's meeting if you attend such a thing.

I am with JR here... who cares... the rule is ther so you can see the numbers

that being said. I used to do uniform numbering... Any of the standard 4" numbers that are heat applied or embroidered meet the legal size.

I would bet that most numbers on the front of jersys are 6" or more. I dont think I have seen 4" numbers for a long time...
