Everyone knows Cam Newton as #2 at Auburn, but the Auburn equipment team knew him as #102.⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ How does an athlete identify their gear when roster sizes are large and there are regulations on what numbers are available for each position? At Auburn, they chose to go with three-digit numbers for duplicate numbers.⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ Cam Newton came to Auburn in 2010 as a junior college transfer, but he wasn't the only Tiger to wear #2. Aairon Savage was a senior defensive back in 2010. He had worn #2 since arriving on the Plains. With his seniority, Savage was the official #2 player.⠀ ⠀⁣ When Auburn moved to the larger player decals on the helmet in 2021, the triple-digit numbering system seemed to come to an end. However, pay attention to team-issued gear like shirts, shorts, backpacks, and the like. They will usually feature three digits.⁣ ⠀⁣ (📸 via USA Today & Auburn Athletics)⁣ ⁣⁣ #auburntigers #auburnfootball #footballuniform #auburnuniform #underarmour #auburnhistory #auburnuniformdatabase #au...
