Retired NFL Uniform Numbers
By James Alder
Some NFL teams, like the Chicago Bears and the New York Giants, have been liberal over the years in honoring their great players by retiring their uniform numbers while other teams, like the Green Bay Packers, have been rather conservative in bestowing such awards. The Dallas Cowboys are one of the few teams that have retired no uniform numbers, instead choosing to honor their greats with a "Ring of Honor" that graces the facade at Texas Stadium.
Perhaps the strangest "retirement" belongs to the Seattle Seahawks, though, having retired the number 12 to represent the fans... referred to as the 12th man. About Football offers this list, by team, of all the retired uniform numbers in the NFL!
