Um, yeah, I hope they don't have to wear these in the 'Noodle Bowl' next year:

All in all I don't think this is much to get exorcised about. It doesn't have Hello Kitty patches on it or anything.

If we cared about sumo wrestling here, we would have our own league. But we don't, because we don't care. (I know sumo wrestling is Japanese but you get the point.)

Brownfan80 said:Granted, but maybe you didn't notice the '+ and sideways 11' where Tom's '12' should be.
It's just weird to me that they'd change the actual jersey itself just to market it in a new area.
Tom's number is '12', not '+ sideways 11', they should buy his jersey with '12' on it.
If other markets and cultures are going to be targeted I'd much rather see them buy into the version of football that is currently out there, rather than football being changed to appeal to a new market.

slam said:I noticed. Those symbols are "12" in Chinese. Or was that sarcastic?
Tunescribe said:Excellent point! Where is the novelty for them to buy something totally foreign that's been bastardized for their own culture? I'll bet Chinese people don't even understand the concept of wearing replica jerseys. What's more, the Chinese use OUR NUMBERING SYSTEM for jerseys/shirts used in international athletic competitions. This whole episode is starting to smell like week-old chop suey.
