I don't know that I'd call those numbers on black's jersey "clearly visible"...

According to the rule book I believe it's legal. To the human eye, oh no. I can just see it now "HEY REF WHAT NUMBER WAS THAT PENALTY ON?!?"

sure seems not all that clear; but with night lighting, camera lenses, etc., it may look better in person.

If they are deemed legal they are really stretching the rule.

Sheesh, why bother with numbers at all?

I would let them play and  report it to the state and let them rule on it.

Oh, no doubt - we're still going to play the game.  And if the coach gets cranky about us not getting numbers on the penalties, well, we're trying, coach...

I'm color deficient. I can see colors but dark shades all look the same to me. I can't tell navy blue from purple from black for example. I can't see a number on the leftmost player at all.

My color vision is good and I also cannot see the number on the leftmost player.

This is what happens when Nike took over the uniforms.

I'm sure it had to do with this: $$$
