Bronco changed that policy. Nobody has worn 9, 14, etc. once they were retired.

It's cooler to have a tradition of great players wearing the same numbers

That's a coincidence, not a tradition

Which isn't possible if you retire jersey numbers

It's cooler to do it, but much less cool when you're copying someone else

Agree. I hate that we don't see those number so anymore.

I hate it, too. It's unsustainable, as the Boston Celtics are discovering.

Even better: add a letter. Then you would have 26 possibilities for each number

But they were retired as jerseys not numbers so that policy could be undone, no?

Correct. BYU retires jerseys. Bronco thought players should avoid wearing

There were a few numbers that had already been retired

What does it even mean to retire a jersey but not the number?

Rivera was grandfathered and able to wear Jackie Robinson's retired 42.
