Zero, double zero, triple zero!

[Mark Padgett]

I posted previously about the spring league I'm working and how we were told not to enforce any uniform rules other than safety issues. Some teams have two or three different dark jersey colors, most teams have numbers only on one side of the jersey and some don't have numbers at all.

However, I had a boys V team on Sunday that had a zero, a double zero and a triple zero! I must admit, I've never seen a triple zero on a uniform before. My partner had the first foul call on him and it was fun to watch him try to use his hand to signal the number. I could see he was laughing as he did it. This team had numbers on both the front and back of their jerseys, so this kid actually had a total of six zeros on his uniform.

Oh yeah, one kid on a JV team wears number three but it's on both the front and back of his jersey reversed, so it looked like an eight with the right part missing! When my partner pointed it out to me before our game, I said that team is the "Fighting Dyslexics".
