After they stop making popular jersey numbers, what happens to left over stock, like when #12 was a popular jersey number at OSU?

If you go to www.eastbay.com and search on custom ncaa jersey you can get an Ohio State jersey with any name and any number you want on it, although you can't order one with the exact name and number of a current or former roster player or coach. Get at 12 without a name or even with your own last name on it, no problem. Check it out - they look great!

Check in the malls at the Ohio State Store in the mall at Polaris Ohio. They might have it. You could call OSU and ask them if they have one you can buy.

In any discount bin.
