Question Number: 15268Law 4 - Players Equipment 4/24/2007RE: Select Under 17 Frank Bepko of Guilford, CT USA asks...Can players wear numbers of players on their sleeves as a show of support?
For instance we had to kids hurt in a car accident and their teamates asked if they can place the injured players numbers on the sleeve. Thanks Answer provided by Referee Keith Contarino The LOTG do not require or prohibit numbers of any kind. I would certainly honor a team's wishes in this matter and cannot imagine a youth referee that would take exception to this whether allowed by local rules or not. But..... you better check with your club as somewhere out there exists an anal retentive referee that would not let you play if your club prohibited this.
