We've been looking into the history of the Grizzlies uniforms, now it's time to look at the numerals on those uniforms.

I find it very interesting how certain numerals "appear" to fans, i.e., some look better and more appealing than others. It's also interesting how certain numerals "fit" a player. Does Tony Allen not look like a #9?

Also intriguing is the fact that over half of the available numbers (0 up through 99 and 00) have never been worn by any Grizzlies player. A total of (42) different jersey numerals have been used in the Grizzlies franchise, and we're going to look at the most popular and determine who was the best player to wear each numeral.
