00
 

Is 00 a legal number in FED?

(I'm still trying to purge basketball rules so I don't get them confused)

No.

From the rules comparison chart, FED column only:

• Numbers must be located on the player’s
upper front and back. On the front, the top of
the number must be no more than 5” down
from the shoulder seam, or centered and no
more than 5” below the bottom edge of any
neckline ribbing/placket/seam.
• Legal numbers are 0-99, inclusive. Double
zero not allowed.
• The body of the number must clearly contrast
from the body of the uniform regardless of
trim.
• Beginning July 1, 2028, season, numbers with
a leading zero (ex. “05”) are not legal

Thanks. That's what it says in my 2017 rulebook, but I wasn't sure if it had changed. Probably should get a more recent book one of these seasons.
