You know New England Patriots fans are in need of filling their football fix when an updated uniform announcement is making headlines on social media, but such was the case Monday.
The Patriots revealed an updated list of jersey numbers, which follows a change in NFL rules permitting linebackers to wear any number from 1 to 59 or 90 to 99. Previously, linebackers were limited to numbers in the 40s, 50s and 90s. Patriots linebacker Ja’Whaun Bentley already revealed he would be taking part and transitioning to No. 8.
He was not the only one making a change, though.
