The current Skins' uniform with a #44 on it does not look like the one Riggins wore in the early 80s. So hang up a picture of Riggins' #44 in the Ring of Honor but let someone else wear #44 on the field now.

I like the idea of honoring a # but letting it still be worn. And of course asking that player first is always the best way to go. I'm sure most of them wouldn't mind, especially if Gibbs is the one asking.
