Patriot Helmet Stickers

Ocliw · 12-09-2007, 07:05 PM

Every team I saw play today had 21 on their helmets. Pats have 91. Am I missing something?

SmootSmack · 12-09-2007, 07:12 PM

Was it required for all teams to wear 21 throughout the rest of the season?

Why do the Patriots wear the number 91 on the back of their helmets?

Answer
The Patriots are wearing circular stickers on the backs of their helmets with the number 91 on them, in honor of their teammate, the late Marquise Hill.

Marquise Hill (August 7, 1982 - May 28, 2007) was an American football defensive end for the New England Patriots of the National Football League.

Hill attended De La Salle High School in New Orleans where he was named as an All-American and the best defensive lineman in the nation by many publications. Hill then played college football in Louisiana State University and was drafted by the Patriots in the second round of the 2004 NFL Draft. Hill played in one game in 2004 and played in eight games in the 2005 season, making three tackles.

On the evening of May 27, 2007, Hill and his friend, Ashley Blazio, fell off a jet ski in Lake Pontchartrain, north of New Orleans. Neither was wearing a personal flotation nor tracking device. Blazio was rescued and sent to Tulane Medical Center. Coast Guard units searched the area, and Hill's body was found by the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries around 2:15 PM CDT on May 28.

Hill had spent much of his time in the days after Hurricane Katrina helping residents rebuild their homes. He was the first New England Patriots player to die while still a member of the team.

For the 2007 NFL season, the Patriots team will wear a "91" insignia (Hill's number in his tenure with New England) on the back on their helmets in honor of his life.

The league made the "21" sticker optional for all teams after the first week. Some teams wore them today, some did not.

The Skins will wear the stickers and the patch for the rest of the season.

I hate the Patriots, but they did wear it the week after Sean's death. They are still honoring their teammate and I don't see a problem with it.

Tell that to the Pats fan that dug it up.

I saw Dallas and Philly wearing #21. The Giants weren't though.

cypane is right, the #21 sticker is optional

Gtothearry · 12-09-2007, 07:26 PM

All of the games I watched today the players had #21 on their helmet. This just gives me another reason to hate the patriots. I think it is completely disrespectful. Probably came straight from the head coach.

Gonna get beat up, but here goes. It is optional for every player. The Pats are unified as a team and do things of this nature together (for good or bad). They could have worn both, but IMO they probably would rather keep Hill's memory alive when no one else in the NFL was. I think trying to compare tragedies of this nature is disgusting, but no doubt Sean's murder affects us more as Skins fans and NFL fans more because Sean was such a dominating player and fun to watch.
Personally, I feel that Darrent Williams should have had his number on helmets for at least the first game.
And before people ask, no I don't like the Pats.
