    need help with Howie Long Raiders jersey nameplate(photo inside)

    Lelands has this jersey and I am interested in it BUT the nameplate is my question. I have searched everything I can find including watching some old NFL films but cannot find Howie wearing this style. Has anyone ever seen him wearing this type namplate or have any photos. Any help would be reatly appreciated, Chris

    Let's take it one step further...has anybody ever seen ANY NFL player use a full first and last name NOB? In all my years of watching/researching football I have never seen it - well except the XFL's "He Hate Me." Usually if there are multiple players on the roster with the same last name the go with first initials. I'd be interested to hear any variations/deviations from that.

    Good call ironmanfan! Now that I think about it his brother as well, Joel Youngblood. In those cases the first name was above the last I believe.

    I think Ricky Williams in his rookie year had the full name.

    The NFL rule is/was that if two players have the same last name, they both have to have the first initial on their. If multiple players have the same last name and the first initial, then the first two letters of the first name have to be on there. If the first two letters of the first name are the same, both have to have the full first and last name.

    I think you mean Jim Youngblood as Joel was the baseball player

    According to the Raiders alltime roster, Howie Long is the only regular season player with the last name Long.

    That said, it doesn't mean that there couldn't have been another H. Long in preseason

    Our friends at UniWatch have chronicled the FNOB (Full Name On Back) phenomenon

    As far as I could tell, no mention of Howie Long
