[QUOTE="captainamerica, post: 61156"] it bothers me because i think it's completely arrogant and unnecessary. and, for better or for worse, i'm kind of a traditionalist. this is 'talking balls' and is the place to voice opinions, even if the subject matter is completely trivial. that you could give a flying f*** about the topic -- great. but i want to know why, and exactly what sense of history you may hold or are coming from. you often hear about players putting on their national jersey and it's one of the, if not the, proudest moment in their career because of all the elite players they are following. i think the surnames immediately take away (because it's visual) a sense of history associated with each number. this might only be a minor sense of loss, but still. i mean, why have jones stamped above 10 now when you had the likes of morgan, john, and bennett who all played better? no other national team has it except wales. this was not up to reebok. reebok may have suggested it, but the wrfu ultimately has the final say on how their side look. thanks for bringing up badges - that actually helps my point of view. as for the 'munch' - that is what that icon is called over here, and is often used to indicate waiting. though he's english, i forgot about mick 'the munch' skinner and how it could be perceived over there. lost in translation, no harm done.
