Mel Renfro Wears Two Uniform Numbers In the Same Game

 By John Turney

In 1967, against the Baltimore Colts in Week 12,  Mel Renfro wore two uniform numbers—#20 and #44. In the first half, he got his uniform covered in mud and he changed jerseys to #44 and wore it throughout the rest of the game.

Here are some shots:
