From the presser it sound like this is a pretty deliberate decision by Plough, but I agree on the name plates. I much prefer having them so I don't have to memorize the entire roster by number lol.

what presser?

Plough talks about it 14:32 in this video

Put the names back on the jerseys. We look amateur without it. Honor the history in another way….

Put the names back…

I'm totally with you. I think the jerseys look much better with the names.

Wear the hat - bill forward.

I honestly don't care either way - if it helps the team win, I'm all for names on jerseys.

It is Plough's team. He has a HUGE ask to win in 2024! His professional career and families fortune hinge upon to a bunch of 20 something men's choices and performances. I support the coach.

In a world of NIL and CU/Prime's approach to college football, I like Plough's approach to Aggie Pride and creating a team atmosphere. Let the weekly defensive awards tell people who these young men are.

I think it’s a small negative for recruiting and NIL income for players.

South Dakota State’s jerseys are sans names. So are Incarnate Word’s. In todays portal and what’s in it for me culture, I think it is kind of refreshing. A subtle message that is it’s more about the team than me would, in my opinion, would also serve them in their future careers, and in life in general. But I am a bit old school I guess.
