Most Recognizable Number in Sports

The greatest player to ever play has dominated this number for years.  Can anyone ever make a number more famous than this man has?

Derek Jeter - 2

Wayne Gretzky - 99

Not a lot of people give a lot of attention to hockey, and it is rarely on TV, but The Great One has made this number known to all, hockey fan or not.

Brett Favre - 4

When #4 takes the field in a Packers jersey defenses sweat. #4 will be known as the greatest quarterback to ever put on the uniform.

Jackie Robinson - 42

No baseball player will ever wear this jersey number ever again.  Jackie was such an influential part of baseball and his jersey number will never be subjected to being tarnished by another player.

Lebron James - 23

There has been a lot of debate over Jebron James being the next Michael Jordan.  Will the number 23 soon be better known for King James or Air Jordan?

Larry Bird - 33

Dale Earnhardt - 3

With the possible exception of Jordan, I would bet that Earnhardt's number has been attached to more merchandise than any other athlete. Its a brand unto itself.  When you steal a number away from Babe Ruth, thats pretty telling.

Michael Vick - 7

Kobe Bryant - 8

John Elway - 7
