I had thought we have been at 9 jerseys in the rotation for awhile, but when I saw that picture of Elih I thought it was a jersey and not a vest. I knew the BP jersey was an "extra" to take us from 9 to 10, but totally blanked on the other. Walker said:

They wear a white with FS, white with SEMINOLES, white sleeveless with SEMINOLES and white pinstriped. They also wear grey in each above. They have the Sunday Vegas Gold uniforms and a garnet top with SEMINOLES. In the NCAA tournament this year they have worn a traditional batting practice jersey in Garnet with the interlocking FS (worn in Monday's CWS game). I guess that gives them 11 tops to wear, but I am not sure the sleeveless grey's were worn this year. FSU actually has more than seven uniforms.

I don't know about any other state but Georgia, but it wasn't uncommon to see now-illegal numbers well into the mid-1950s. I have a photo of what was then the largest school in the state (Jordan) wearing a #88 in 1957. http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/viewPhoto?uname=swinethemad&aid=5172648246934311697&iid=5179297024738205602 I’m probably way too late for this to be read, but judging by the font and the style of the top, that could very well be a high school basketball warm-up for Joliet.
