â€œThe New Haven County Cutters of the independent Can-Am have unusual uniform numbers â€” they arenâ€™t on the same plane.”

The numbers are on the same plane. A plane is two dimensional. Both numbers lie in the plane defined by the back of the uni shirt. It is true that the numbers are not arranged parallel to the belt line as most uni numbers are.

For those watching the World Cup, Ecuador keeper Christian Mora was rocking the keeper pants (as well as flag facepaint) during today’s game.

speaking of strange numbers. Former Inter Milan striker Ivan Zamorano, when he changed number fron 9 to 18 to leave the number 9 to brazilian star Ronaldo, wore a special + patch between the 1 and the 8 so to have a 9 as a sum of the numbers. This trend had some followers in italian serie A as Salvatore Fresi of Salernitana who used to wear a 3+3 uni number.

Regarding the numbers on a different plane, there’s another team I can think of that does something similar. The Salem-Keizer Volcanoes of the Single-A Short-Season Northwest League have always worn unis with upward-slanted numerals. A picture of the back of the uni can be found here –> http://www.volcanoes...

Warning for 56k-ers — it’s a large image. Sorry!

Mohammed Al Deayeaat Saudi Arabian goaltender at the 2002 World Cup, wearing pants. I think that he always wore pants. This game was even played in a dome standium on natural turf. I think for him it may have been a religious choice, it addition to the pain of the ball hitting you.

I just looked at the temperatures for Manchester, UK, where the Hungary vs. England game on May 30 was and the high for the day was only 55F, and game time temp was 50F. Maybe this was what he could do on short notice to keep warm.
